Explanation of Solution
To calculate: The
White phosphorus burn in air and produces phosphorus pentoxide. Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with water and produces phosphoric acid.
Calculate the molarity of phosphoric acid
The molarity of formed phosphoric acid was calculated by the use of given weight and volume data.
Calculate the
