Answer 2

Answer:

Pyrophosphates are prepared by heating phosphates, hence the name pyro-phosphate (from the Ancient Greek: πῦρ, πυρός, romanized: pyr, pyros, lit. 'fire'[1]). More precisely, they are generated by heating phosphoric acids to the extent that a condensation reaction occurs.

Pyrophosphates are generally white or colorless. The alkali metal salts are water-soluble.[2] They are good complexing agents for metal ions (such as calcium and many transition metals) and have many uses in industrial chemistry. Pyrophosphate is the first member of an entire series of polyphosphates.[3]

The term pyrophosphate is also the name of esters formed by the condensation of a phosphorylated biological compound with inorganic phosphate, as for dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. This bond is also referred to as a high-energy phosphate bond.
