It is denoted by the chemical formula H3PO3. Its IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) name is Phosphonic acid, and it’s a diprotic acid. It has two free protons and not three as the formula indicates.

Applications:

It’s usually used in the preparation of other phosphorous compounds like phosphites. Salts like Potassium phosphite are made from Phosphorous acid. These salts are effective fungicides and are used to protect plants from infections like root rot and mildew.

Phosphoric Acid

It’s denoted by the chemical formula H3PO4, and its IUPAC name is Orthophosphoric acid. It’s a non-toxic acid and is a solid at room temperature.

Applications:

Phosphoric acid is used in a variety of industries. It’s a common food additive and is present in processed foods. The non-toxic nature and acidity of Phosphoric acid prevent the formation of molds. It’s also used as an electrolyte, orthopedic, dental and industrial etchant, soldering flux and a dispersing agent. It’s also present in several home-cleaning liquids.
