fosforoksiidi
Fosforoksiidi refers to a class of chemical compounds containing phosphorus and oxygen. The most common and well-known of these is phosphorus pentoxide, P₂O₅, also known as diphosphorus pentoxide. Phosphorus pentoxide is a white, amorphous solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It is a powerful dehydrating agent and is often used in chemical synthesis to remove water. When phosphorus pentoxide reacts with water, it forms phosphoric acid.
Other phosphorus oxides exist, including phosphorus trioxide (P₄O₆), which is a colorless crystalline solid. Phosphorus trioxide
The production of phosphorus oxides typically involves the combustion of elemental phosphorus in air or oxygen.
