Phosphoric Acid and its Characteristics

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about phosphoric acid which is one of the most popular acids that is used in many industries, especially in the manufacturing of fertilizers. The salts of this acid which are known as phosphates are used mainly in agriculture and even at home. Students might even hear this term often in their chemistry classes. Therefore, we will learn about this chemical compound and understand various things related to it.
