ya, white P causes superficial burns, as it reacts vigorously wid air and sticks to our skin. copper sulfate is
used to neutralise the effects of white P. This solution combines with phosphorus on the surface of the
particles to form a blue-black cupric phosphite covering( Cu3(PO3)2 ) , which both impedes
further oxidation and facilitates identification of retained particles.
