(a)
Interpretation:
Combustion of white phosphorus has to be written in form of a chemical equation.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation is a short hand representation of a
Combustion reaction is the burning of a substance in presence of oxygen. The product obtained on combustion is oxide only.
(b)
Interpretation:
Reaction of the product obtained with water from combustion of white phosphorus has to be written in form of a chemical equation.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation is a short hand representation of a chemical reaction. The reactants that are involved in a chemical reaction is written on the left side of the arrow and the products obtained are written on right side of the arrow. The conditions that are required for the chemical reaction to proceed is written above and below the arrow.
Oxides react with water to form oxo acids. Binary oxides are much reactive and readily combine with water.
