Phosphoric acid, a mild acid used among other things as a rust inhibitor, food additive, and etching agent for cavity repair by dentists, can be made from
elemental phosphorus in a two step process. In the first step, phosphorus and oxygen react to form diphosphorus pentoxide:
P,(s) + 50,(g)
2 P,0; (g)
In the second step, diphosphorus pentoxide and water react to form phosphoric acid (H,PO,):
