Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, monophosphoric acid or phosphoric(v) acid) is a colorless, odorless 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. Phosphoric acid is a component of fertilizers (80% of total use), detergents, and many household cleaning products. Dilute solutions have a pleasing acid taste; thus, its also used as a food additive, lending acidic properties to soft drinks and other prepared foods, and in water treatment products.
