Phosphoric acid, is an inorganic acid. It is a weak acid. Its adaptability allows for diverse industrial and laboratory uses. In scientific research, phosphoric acid serves as a reagent. It finds utility in pH adjustment of solutions, acts as a buffer, and catalyzes chemical reactions. Moreover, it plays a role in the preparation of metal phosphates like zinc phosphate and phosphorylated compounds such as phosphorylated sugars. Additionally, phosphoric acid contributes to the preparation of metal complexes such as ferric phosphate and phospholipids like lecithin. Phosphoric acid acts as a proton donor, releasing protons (H+) into the solution. Importantly, this protonation process is reversible, allowing for the removal of protons from the solution and restoration of the solution′s pH.
