Do anyone know what the red substance is that results from the combustion of yellow phosphorus?
Thread Content
I conducted some preliminary tests: 1. It can be heated to high temperatures; it burns and then disappears. 2. It is insoluble in water as well as in carbon disulfide. 3. It does not react with acidic substances such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. 4. Its appearance is that of a red or yellow powder. 5. It is produced when yellow phosphorus burns in air. I would appreciate advice from those who know more about this, thank you!
Is phosphorus pentoxide a red powder?
Phosphorus pentoxide is soluble in water, but this substance is not soluble in water. Moreover, phosphorus pentoxide in solid form is a white solid; it is not red or yellow in color
{:3_49:} Is there another type of phosphorus called red phosphorus? . . . . . I remember it was Baidu. . . It should be high-temperature isomerization, incomplete combustion
{:3_47:} There’s also the possibility that you ignited it in a sealed container, resulting in insufficient oxygen
