Phosphoric acid (Food Grade) is used to acidify foods and beverages such as various colas and jams, providing a tang or sour taste. The phosphoric acid also serves as a preservative. Soft drinks containing phosphoric , which would include Coca-Cola, are sometimes called phosphate sodas or phosphates.

Phosphoric Acid (Technical Grade)

Q: What is the difference between phosphoric acid and orthophosphoric acid?

H3O+ is the same chemical substance that is referred to as both orthophosphoric acid and phosphoric acid. To differentiate it from other phosphoric acids with distinct chemical structures, such pyrophosphoric acid (H₄P₂O₇) and metaphosphoric acid (HPO₃), the term 'orthophosphoric acid' is frequently employed.

Q: What concentrations of phosphoric acid are available?

There are many amounts of phosphoric acid, but an 85% aqueous solution is the most widely used. For certain uses, lower concentrations—like 10–50%—are also offered.

Q: Can phosphoric acid be used in organic farming?

Because phosphoric acid is synthetic, it is typically not utilised in organic farming. Organic agricultural methods generally depend on naturally occurring sources of phosphorus, including rock phosphate or bone meal. Nonetheless, because phosphoric acid is readily available and effective, it is widely used in conventional farming.

Phosphoric acid (also known as Ortho-Phosphoric Acid) is commonly met as an 85% aqueous solution. It is a colourless, odourless & non-volatile syrupy liquid. The compound is an acid. Removal of all three H⁺ ions gives the phosphate ion PO₄³⁻. Removal of one or two protons gives dihydrogen phosphate ion H₂PO₄⁻ and the hydrogen phosphate ion HPO₄²⁻ respectively. Phosphoric acid forms esters, called organophosphates.

Uses: Technical Grade: Phosphoric acid (Technical Grade) is used in soap & detergent, food industries, water treatment, toothpastes, etc. The major use of phosphoric acid is for fertilizers.
