Phosphoric Acid - H3PO4
Phosphoric Acid has a very wide range of uses from being a rust inhibitor to being a food additive. Phosphoric acid is colorless, odorless, and non-volatile which are three traits that are very common within acids. Most of the acid is a syrupy liquid but is still pourable, since it is a concentrated acid it can also be corrosive. Phosphoric acid is used as an acidifying agent which gives colas their tangy flavor.
