It corrodes it because it includes oxygen and hydrogen.
Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a tribasic acid with three replaceable hydrogen atoms, while hypophosphoric acid (H4P2O6) is a polyphosphoric acid with two P-OH groups. Phosphoric acid is commonly used in fertilizers and food additives, while hypophosphoric acid is used in organic synthesis as a reducing agent.
A zinc penny would dissolve in phosphoric acid, not a copper penny. Zinc reacts with phosphoric acid to form zinc phosphate and hydrogen gas. This reaction does not occur with copper, as copper is a more stable metal and does not react with phosphoric acid in the same way.
I don't think so.poly phosphoric acid and phosphoric acid have same moleculer structure.http://harvestchem.iblogger.org

Ortho-phosphoric acid is a specific form of phosphoric acid, where the phosphorus atom is bonded to three hydroxyl groups. Phosphoric acid, on the other hand, is a more general term that can refer to any acid containing phosphorus, including ortho-phosphoric acid, as well as pyrophosphoric acid and metaphosphoric acid.
To make a 9N (normal) Phosphoric Acid solution, you will need to know the concentration of your Phosphoric Acid. The formula to calculate the volume of Phosphoric Acid required is: Volume (in liters) = (Desired Normality * Equivalent Weight of Phosphoric Acid * Volume of Solution) / Concentration of Phosphoric Acid.
Usually pennies are cleaned by coke. One of the ingredients in Coke is phosphoric acid, a medium strength acid that is used in the production of agricultural fertilizers. It's the phosphoric acid that enables Coke to get stuff off dirty pennies.
The chemical formula for phosphoric acid is H3PO4.
The common name for Phosphoric Acid is orthophosphoric acid.
i think it is phosphoric is stronger but I'm not sure?
The inorganic acid with the formula H3PO4 is phosphoric acid.
