Phosphorus pentoxide is a potent dehydrating agent as indicated by the exothermic nature of its hydrolysis P4O10 + 6 H2O → 4 H3PO4 (–177 kJ). A granular form of P4O10 is used in desiccators. Consistent with its strong desiccating power, P4O10 is used in organic synthesis for dehydration.
phosphorus is burned to form phosphorus pentoxide, P4O10. Sometimes called phosphoric anhydride, or diphosphorus pentoxide, this compound can be obtained in the form of a soft white powder or colourless crystalline solid.
