Introduction
We look at the basic properties and structure, as well as preparation, of 7 oxoacids of phosphorous, and then look at the special properties of reduction, disproportionation and basicity.
Pre-Requisites:
Oxoacid, Tetrahedral, Alkali, Polymeric, Oxidation State, Disproportionation, Ionization.
Activity:
Common household implements tend to rust. This is prevented by using anti-rust which contains phosphoric acid.
Real Life Question:
How is rust cleaned? This is done using rust removers, which contain phosphoric acid.
