Phosphoric Acid 85% 1L

Description

Phosphoric acid can be used as a rust converter, in soap making, as a pH buffer and fertilizer in aquariums. Phosphoric acid also has niche uses as an anodizing solution, as a flux additive to increase activity, descaling and concrete cleanup. Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, monophosphoric acid or phosphoric(V) acid) is a colourless, odourless phosphorus-containing solid, and inorganic compound with the chemical formula H3PO4. It is commonly encountered as an 85% aqueous solution, which is a colourless, odourless, and non-volatile syrupy liquid. It is a major industrial chemical, being a component of many fertilizers. The compound is an acid. Phosphoric acid forms esters, called organophosphates. The name "orthophosphoric acid" can be used to distinguish this specific acid from other "phosphoric acids", such as pyrophosphoric acid. Nevertheless, the term "phosphoric acid" often means this specific compound; and that is the current IUPAC nomenclature.
