Should i heat up my dehydrating mixture, when using p2o5?
Accepted Answer
P2O5 is a powerful desiccant (drying agent) and can react violently with water. Heating the mixture could lead to an uncontrolled reaction, generating heat, potentially causing burns, and possibly even an explosion. Always handle P2O5 with extreme caution and consult safety protocols before using it. It's best to avoid heating mixtures containing P2O5. If you need to use P2O5, ensure adequate safety precautions, use proper equipment, and follow established safety procedures.
