Answer 2

Harmfulness of Phosphoric acid:

• The phosphoric acid present in toilet cleaner is much more harmful.
• The toxicity of any chemical depends on the concentration of the chemical present in the solvent.
• In the case of soft drink, the phosphoric acid present is in very low concentration, and most of the acid taste comes from carbonic acid which is harmless.
• But, in toilet cleaner that’s present in much higher concentration, which is highly toxic for humans.
• And, toilet cleaner contains many other chemicals like muriatic acid, and the purification of the liquid is also not consumable.
• So, the toilet cleaner is much more harmful than the soft drink.
