Correct answer: phosphorus pentoxide.
Notes: P2O5 is the empirical formula; the common name is phosphorus pentoxide. The systematic molecular form is actually P4O10 (often called tetraphosphorus decoxide), and "diphosphorus pentoxide" would be the literal prefix name for the empirical formula but is less commonly used.
