I-asidi ye-Phosphoric yeyesibini kuphela kwi-asidi ye-sulfuric njenge-asidi ye-industrial kwaye ihlala ibeka phakathi kweekhemikhali ezili-10 eziphezulu ezisetyenziswa jikelele.I-Phosphates yayisetyenziswa njengabakhi kunye nezithambisa amanzi.Umakhi yinto eyongeziweyo kwiisepha okanye kwisicoci sokwandisa amandla abo okucoca.
I-Phosphoric acid isetyenziswa njengendawo ephakathi kwimveliso yezongezo zokutya kwezilwanyana, iikhemikhali zokunyanga amanzi, unyango lomphezulu wesinyithi, i-etching agent, kunye neemveliso zokhathalelo lomntu ezifana nentlama yamazinyo.Isetyenziswa njenge-catalyst kwishishini le-petroleum kunye ne-polymer.I-Phosphoricacid isetyenziswa ekutyeni njengento egcinayo, i-acidulant, kunye ne-flavour enhancer;yenza iziselo ze-carbonated ezifana ne-Coca Cola kunye ne-Pepsi, zinike incasa emnandi.Iasidi yePhosphoric isetyenziswa njengesisusa irust kunye nesicoci sesinyithi.I-Naval Jelly imalunga ne-25% ye-asidi ye-phosphoric.Olunye usetyenziso lwe-asidi ye-phosphoric lubandakanya ukulawula ukukhanya kwimveliso yeglasi, ukudaya amalaphu, irabha latexcoagulation, kunye neesamente zamazinyo.
I-Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) yeyona nto ibalulekileyo ye-oxoacid ye-phosphorus kwaye eyona nto isetyenziswayo kukwenziwa kwezichumisi.
Emzimbeni womntu, iphosphate yeyona nto iphambili enephosphorus.I-Phosphate yi-inorganic compound kwaye yityuwa ye-phosphoric acid.Inokwenza i-esters ye-organic kunye neentlobo ezahlukeneyo zeekhompawundi kwaye ezi zibalulekile kwiinkqubo ezininzi ze-biochemical.Iphosphate inefomula yobungqina PO43-.Yimolekyuli ye-tetrahedral, apho i-athomu ye-phosphorus esembindini ijikelezwe ziiathom ezine ze-oksijini.
Kwiinkqubo zebhayoloji, iphosphate isoloko ifunyanwa njenge-ion yasimahla (i-inorganic phosphate) okanye njenge-ester emva kokusabela kunye neekhompawundi eziphilayo (ezidla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi-organic phosphates).I-Inorganic phosphate (ikakhulu ichazwa njenge-Pi) ngumxube we-HPO42- kunye ne-H2PO4- kwi-pH ye-physiological.
