Abstract

HE writers encountered a requeat for the analysis of a T mixture of phosphorus compounds- white phosphorus (P), phofiphorus oxychloride (POCI,), and phosphorus trichloride (I'C 'I3), Sfethods are available for determining each compound of the mixture; however, there are no methods for a mixture of these compounds. The mixture is unusual in that it presents an element in three oxidation states. Hydrolysis of the mixture gives a white waxy solid (white ...
