K1.6 PROGRESSIVE MASS-MASS PRACTICE PROBLEMS
The impressive reaction of white phosphorus with oxygen gas from the air can be viewed here.
Note that in the preceding problem since metallic Aℓ is present in an excess, it does not affect the calculation and so can be ignored.
The reaction between white phosphorus and oxygen is exceedingly exothermic. White phosphorus inflames spontaneously in air as it dries out and so is stored under water.
