Chapter 22, Problem 22.160CP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A balanced equation for the acid anhydride of Iodine with water has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

• Acid anhydride is formed by loss of water from an acid. For example, the anhydride of phosphoric acid ( ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}$ ) is phosphoric pentoxide ( ${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_5$).
• When acid anhydride reacts with water, the acid is produced. For example, ${\text{P}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_5+3{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to 2{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{PO}}_{\text{4}}$
