Question

White phosphorus catches fire in air to produce dense white fumes. This is due to the formation of (A) P4O10 (B) PH3 (C) H3PO3 (D) H3PO2

White phosphorus is highly reactive and catches fire when exposed to air and produces white dense fumes of phosphorus oxide, P4O10. P4 + 5O2arrow P4O10

Q. White phosphorus catches fire in air to produce dense white fumes. This is due to the formation of

$P_{4} O_{10}$

$P H_{3}$

$H_{3} P O_{3}$

$H_{3} P O_{2}$

White phosphorus is highly reactive and catches fire when exposed to air and produces white dense fumes of phosphorus oxide,
$P_{4} O_{10}$ . $P_{4} + 5 O_{2} \to P_{4} O_{10}$
