Combustion of Phosphorous in Oxygen (using liquid oxygen)
Keywords:
oxygen, phosphorous
Materials:
Liquid Oxygen, ~1-2 L, in Dewar flask
Unsilvered Dewar Flasks (2)
Fire Extinguisher
Phosphorous
Hazards:
Cryogenic - Liquid Oxygen
Oxidizer - Liquid Oxygen
Explosive - Liquid Oxygen (in presence of fuel)
Implosion - Glass Dewar Flasks
Procedure:
Caution - do not allow reaction to proceed until all liquid oxygen has evaporated. Contact with phosphorous may result in detonation.
