When Phosphorus Reacts with Concentrated Nitric Acid?

P ( PHOSPHORUS) +HNO3( NITRIC ACID) =H3PO4( PHOSPHORIC ACID) + NO2(NITROGEN DIOXIDE) +H2O(WATER) .

What is the product when HNO3 oxidises phosphorus?

Concentrate nitric acid oxidises phosphorus to phosphoric acid according to the following equation: P+5HNO3(conc.) →H3PO4+H2O+5NO2 ​

How does it react with concentrated nitric acid?
