Les principales [combinaisons de phosphore avec l'oxygène] sont l'anhydride phosphoreux et l'hémipentaoxyde de phosphore ou anhydride phosphorique. On les obtient par combustion du phosphore en présence d'air; pour l'anhydride phosphorique, on utilise un excès d'air. [Il] est solide, blanc, très avide d'eau, ce qui le fait employer comme desséchant énergique. 3, record 1, French, - anhydride%20phosphorique
