Best Answer

AlPO4 in chemistry is the compound, aluminum phosphate.

It is used in cake mixes and in some baking powders as a leavening agent to help baked goods rise. Medicinally it is used as adsorbent for toxoid. It is also used industrially as a high-temperature dehydrating agent. When strongly heated, aluminum phosphate decomposes into aluminum oxide and phosphorus pentoxide, the latter of which is very effective at absorbing water.

It is a white crystalline powder, that has a molar mass of 121.95 g/mol
