Phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10) is not soluble in water but can react with water to form phosphoric acid (H3PO4). It is a white, hygroscopic solid that can absorb moisture from the air, leading to the formation of a gel-like substance when it comes into contact with water. Its solubility characteristics make it useful as a dehydrating agent in various chemical processes.
