  1. ACID/BASE RESEARCH Suwon Park, JosianneGermann

  2. Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric) • Formula:H3PO4 • Density:1.88 g/cm³ • Melting Point:42.35° C • Boiling Point:158oC • Has a low pH (strong acid!)

  3. Characteristics • Clear, colorless liquid • When added to a soft drink, gives a tangy flavor • Inorganic acid

  4. The Use • Removes rusts from metal objects • Can be used as a medicine (anit-nausea medication) • Can be used to clean your teeth (dentists use) • Can be used to press the food

  5. Other uses • Hair coloring (other color dying products) • Bleach • Nail polish • Dry cat food • Body wash • Tooth paste • Shampoo

  6. Why needed in space? • In space, if you don’t have phosphoric acid, you won’t be able to clean the spaceships when it is dirty • If the space ships are not clean, the engine might get stuck and all yucky which will lead to a broken space ship

  7. Equipments • Scientist (to make it) • Air (oxygen and hydrogen) • Phosphoric acid • Fire

  8. The making • Made up of phosphorus, hydrogen, and oxygen • When pentoxide and water are combined .. • Reacting a concentrated nitric acid and red phosphorus

  9. Why should this be picked? • It is very easy to make • It is cheap to make compare to others • Can be used for useful things (like cleaning detergents, fertilizers, helps remove rust)

  10. If we didn’t have this… • Big industrial product • If we didn’t produce it… • Fertilizers, coke, cleaning detergents will not exist
