"The Transformation of Phosphorus: From Phosphoric Acid to Hypophosphoric Acid"
I have heard of the ancient virtues. In chemistry, although it is not as detailed as it is today, the heart of exploration has not been slightly reduced. Looking at the acids of phosphorus, between changes, there is a wonderful truth.
In the past, people studied phosphide, and they first obtained phosphoric acid. Its properties are stable and widely used. It is beneficial for both industry and agriculture. However, people are not enough for this, and they are exhausted and want to explore its changes.
All the wise men, who have exhausted their scriptures, take experiments as the path, think as the boat, and seek laws in the process of change. After several years and hundreds of attempts, they have been able to transfer from phosphoric acid to hypophosphoric acid.
This change is not achieved overnight. At first, the properties of phosphoric acid are observed, its structure is analyzed, and the reason for its reaction with other substances is understood. Then try various reagents, adjust its temperature, control its atmosphere, and hope to get hypophosphoric acid. The process is arduous, and failures are repeated, but everyone is determined and unmoved.
Finally, something is achieved, and hypophosphoric acid is obtained. Its properties are different from phosphoric acid, and its uses are also different. It can be used for many wonders, or to help the refinement of chemical industry, or to benefit the development of medicine.
Looking at this change from phosphoric acid to hypophosphoric acid, it can be seen that the ancient people explored the spirit of science, perseverance, and endless pursuit of knowledge.
