Question
Phosphoric acid, which is commonly used as rust inhibitor, food additive and etching agent for dental and orthopedic use, can be synthesized using a two-step
thermal process. In the first step, phosphorus and oxygen react to form diphosphorus pentoxide:
PĄ(1)+50,(9)→2P,03(9)
In the second step, diphosphorus pentoxide and water react to form phosphoric acid:
P2O3(9)+3 H,O(1)→2H;PO,()
Write the net chemical equation for the production of phosphoric acid from phosphorus, oxygen and water. Be sure your equation is balanced.
