Ammonium phosphate

<h2 id="preparation-of-triammonium-phosphate">Preparation of triammonium phosphate</h2>
<p>Triammonium phosphate can be prepared in the laboratory by treating 85% phosphoric acid with 30% ammonia solution:
</p>
H3PO4 + 3 NH3 → (NH4)3PO4
<p>(NH4)3PO4 is a colorless, crystalline solid. The solid, which has the odor of ammonia, is readily soluble in water. The salt converts to diammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH4)2HPO4.
