Synthesis of Phosphorus Pentoxide
I know it can be made with Phosphorus, but that is hard to get. Are there any good methods you know of? Can I make it with Phosphoric Acid?

Strange desperate tone to your post 100PercentChemistry.
Do you really need it for something ?

I am using it to dehydrate. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i8WGGnfXII8. Is this banned, I wasn't aware of anything like that. I asked him if I could use anything else and he
said not that I i know of. Sorry if I sounded desparate. The acetonatrile can be used as a solvent. My main use is to synthesize other chemicals from
that. It is expensive to buy where I found. I can also use that to make acetyl chloride, and use that to make acetic anhydride which is useful also.
Do you knew another chemical that would work?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i8WGGnfXII8 to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2ArDw0vf2Q to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MSXrEUcTNi8 I have some ideas for the acetic annydride. I also want to use it to synthesize acetanalide so I can
try out the p nitroanaline reaction myself. Again is there any more commonly available chemical I could use to dehydrate instead of Phosphorus
pentoxide???

Do i have to watch all the videos ?
Edit:
Better to just ask questions about your Ideas than post links to a load of videos.

No aga, it is not a dehydrogenation, it is a dehydration; and a very difficult one at that. Phosphorus pentoxide is the only compound that I know of
that will work, and it cannot be synthesized from phosphoric acid without elemental phosphorus being an intermediate, that adds all sorts of elements
of complexity. If you're in the US, a cheap source of P2O<sub>5</sub> is from Firefox F/X, it will be cheaper than making it
yourself from phosphoric acid.
In addition, synthesizing acetamide, then from that going to acetonitrile, acetyl chloride, and finally acetic anhydride is far too much work for a
relatively simple compound and is a waste of time and money. See the "acetic anhydride preparation" thread and Magpie's thread in Prepublication for
syntheses of acetic anhydride from anhydrous sodium acetate and
S<sub>2</sub>Br<sub>2</sub>/S<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>. <i>Hint, acetic anhydride is not
necessary to acetylate aniline</i>

If it is just that you want acetic anhydride
I bought it here http://onyxmet.com/?route=product/product&filter_name=ac...
quick, easy, cheap.

Really ? Ah crap.
Even the words in OC are difficult.
I'll delete that post seeing as it's utterly wrong.

Phosphoric acid can be dehydrated to P2O5, you need something like 500°C, but the problem is that there are only few materials which can hold the hot
HPO3-P2O5. The only one material I know is graphite. Glass will melt really fast, most metals will corrode quickly, something like platinum or gold
can be used. So what you need is a platinum reactor with platinum tubes leading into receiver for P2O5 vapors. Pretty easy and straightforward method,
as you can see.

Try a google search on your terms of interest + sciencemadness.org, there are a TON of existing threads on both Phosphorus compounds and acetic
anhydride production.
And read the FAQ. http://www.sciencemadness.org/madscifaq.html#2.1_Board_topic...
Also try plainly stating what your ends are, with references and/or description of any work you have performed. Then you can do it outside of
beginnings!
I deleted your double post.
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
