P4O10 is a white crystalline. P4O10 is moderately toxic. P4O10 is highly hygroscopic. It can absorb water from the air, thus a powerful desiccating and dehydrating agent. It reacts with water producing phosphoric acid.
Example Reactions:
• 4P + 5O2 = P4O10
• P4O6 + 2O2 = P4O10
• P4O10 + 6H2O = 4H3PO4
• 12HClO4 + P4O10 = 4H3PO4 + 6Cl2O7
• 2Ca3(PO4)2 + 6SiO2 = P4O10 + 6CaSiO3
• 6CaO + P4O10 = 2Ca3(PO4)2
• 6Na2O + P4O10 = 4Na3PO4
• 4PH3 + 8O2 = P4O10 + 6H2O
• 6Ba(OH)2 + P4O10 = 2Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
• 12HNO3 + P4O10 = 6N2O5 + 4H3PO4
