Write the reaction equation: P → Ca3P2 → PH3 → P2O5 → H3PO4 → K3PO4
According to this chain, the chemical equations will look like this:
1) 3Ca + 2P → Ca3P2
Calcium react with red phosphorus to produce calcium phosphide. This reaction takes place at a temperature of 350-400 ° C.
2) Ca3P2 + 6H2O → 3Ca (OH) 2 + 2PH3
Calcium phosphide react with water to produce calcium hydroxide and phosphine. Impurities: diphosphine and hydrogen.
3) 2PH3 + 4O2 → P2O5 + 3H2O
Phosphine react with oxygen to produce phosphorus (V) oxide and water. Phosphine ignites in air at 150 ° C.
4) P2O5 + 3H2O → 2H3PO4
Phosphorus (V) oxide react with water to produce phosphoric acid. Industrial method for the production of phosphoric acid.
5) H3PO4 + 3KOH → K3PO4 + 3H2O
Phosphoric acid react with potassium hydroxide to produce potassium orthophosphate and water. Potassium hydroxide – concentrated solution. Phosphoric acid – diluted solution.
