A brief history of research

edit
Following German businessmen Portland After the discovery of phosphorus and the production of phosphorus by German chemist Konkel, British chemist Boyle He also independently produced phosphorus. He was also the first chemist to study the properties and compounds of phosphorus. In his paper "A New Experiment of Observed Cold Light" published in 1682, he wrote“ phosphorus White smoke is generated after combustion, and the solution generated after the interaction of white smoke and water is acidic. " The white smoke is Phosphoric anhydride (Phosphorus pentoxide), and the solution generated by the reaction with water is phosphoric acid. However, he did not carry out further research on phosphoric acid.
The first chemist who studied phosphoric acid was a French chemist Lavoisier In 1772, he made an experiment by burning phosphorus in a mercury sealed bell jar. From the experimental results, it is concluded that a certain amount of phosphorus can be burned in a certain volume of air; When phosphorus burns, it generates white flakes of anhydrous phosphorus, like fine snow; After combustion, the air in the bottle remains about 80% of the original capacity; Phosphorus is about 2.5 times heavier after combustion than before combustion; The white powder tablet is dissolved in water to form phosphoric acid. Lavoisier also proved that phosphoric acid can be prepared by reacting concentrated nitric acid with phosphorus.
More than a hundred years later, German chemist Libich did many experiments in agricultural chemistry to reveal the value of phosphorus and phosphoric acid to plant life. The role of organic chemistry in agriculture and physiology, written by Li Bixi in 1840, scientifically demonstrated the problem of soil fertility and pointed out the role of phosphorus on plants. At the same time, he also further explored the application of phosphoric acid and phosphate as fertilizer, from which the production of phosphoric acid entered the era of large-scale.

Phosphoric acid stereo structure formula
Orthophosphoric acid is a phosphoric acid composed of a single phosphorus oxygen tetrahedron. In phosphoric acid molecule, the P atom is sp three Hybrid, three hybrid orbitals form three oxygen atoms σ bond The other P-O bond is composed of σ Bond and two d-p bonds from oxygen to phosphorus. σ The coordination bond is a pair of phosphorus atoms Lone pair electron To the empty orbital of oxygen atom. D ← p The coordination bond is p of oxygen atom y 、p z Two pairs of lone pair electrons in orbit and d of phosphorus atom xz 、d yz The empty tracks are overlapped. Because the 3d energy level of phosphorus atom is higher than that of oxygen atom. 2p of energy level The energy is much higher, and the molecular orbital formed is not very effective, so the number of P-O bonds is triple, but from Bond energy and Key length It is between Single bond and double bond between. Pure H three PO four And its crystal hydrate hydrogen bond There is, which may be the reason why the concentrated phosphoric acid solution is viscous.

physical property

Specific conductance
Normal temperature (25 ℃), H three PO four When the concentration of solution is 45% - 47%, the specific conductance is the maximum. [2]
Solubility
Phosphoric acid and water can be mixed in an infinite proportion, but at the same time, the equilibrium reaction of dehydration hydration occurs with water. When the water content is lower than 5%, the dehydration gradually starts to generate pyrophosphoric acid. [6]
Crystallizing point
The crystallization point of phosphoric acid is related to the water content. The crystallization point of anhydrous phosphoric acid is 42 ℃, and the mixed system of 62.5% phosphoric acid/37.5% water reaches a low eutectic point, and the crystallization point is - 85 ℃. [6]
Generally, the mass fraction of commercially available phosphoric acid is 85%, and its crystallization point (freezing point) is 21 ℃. When it is lower than this temperature, it will precipitate hemihydrate (ice) crystals. Of course, phosphoric acid usually does not form (ice) crystals at temperatures above 10 ℃ or even below. This is because phosphoric acid has the feature of supercooling, that is, when the actual phosphoric acid on the market is lower than 21 ℃, it will deviate from its (ice) crystallization point and will not form (ice) crystals immediately. However, as long as such a low temperature is maintained for a period of time, phosphoric acid is easy to form crystals (ice) in a static state.
Phosphoric acid crystal belongs to physical change and Non chemical change Chemical properties can't It is changed by crystallization, that is, the property of phosphoric acid is can't If it is affected by crystallization, as long as the temperature is given to melt or heated water is diluted and dissolved, it can still be Normal use
Crystallization characteristics: high phosphoric acid concentration, high purity and high crystallinity. According to experience, when the temperature is about 4 ℃ and the concentration is more than 85%, its crystallinity will increase. If it is accidentally mixed with crystalline phosphoric acid, it will cause immediate infection of phosphoric acid that did not form crystalline (ice), and the phosphoric acid will form crystalline (ice), and the phosphoric acid will form crystalline (ice) abnormally fast, leading to the formation of crystalline (ice) in most of the phosphoric acid storage containers. After the phosphoric acid (ice) crystal is formed, the phosphoric acid in the upper part becomes dilute, and the needle shaped crystal (ice) pure phosphoric acid is deposited in the lower part. According to experience, 75% phosphoric acid is also difficult to form (ice) crystals at a lower temperature (around 4 ℃), so it is recommended to use 75% phosphoric acid at a lower temperature.
Phosphoric acid (ice) crystal is like water ice, which is its own physical property and inherent attribute, and cannot be changed. Only proper preservation and treatment can prevent (ice) crystal formation. Commercial phosphoric acid contains 85% H three PO four A thick, concentrated solution of. Crystallization from concentrated solution forms semi hydrate 2H three PO four ·H two O (melting point 302.3K).

boiling point

Commercial phosphoric acid is a mixture of water, and its boiling point is related to the water content. The lower the water content, the higher the boiling point. The boiling point of 85% phosphoric acid is 158 ℃. The boiling point of anhydrous phosphoric acid is 261 ℃, and dehydration reaction occurs at this time to generate pyrophosphoric acid with higher boiling point. [6]
