  2. Phosphoric acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acid

    Phosphoric acid (orthophosphoric acid, monophosphoric acid or phosphoric (V) acid) is a colorless, odorless phosphorus -containing solid, and inorganic compound with the chemical formula H 3 P O 4. It is commonly encountered as an 85% aqueous solution, which is a colourless, odourless, and non- volatile syrupy liquid.

  3. Phosphoric acids and phosphates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acids_and...

    Phosphoric acids and phosphates. Appearance. Pyrophosphoric acid. In chemistry, a phosphoric acid, in the general sense, is a phosphorus oxoacid in which each phosphorus (P) atom is in the oxidation state +5, and is bonded to four oxygen (O) atoms, one of them through a double bond, arranged as the corners of a tetrahedron.

  4. Phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition

    In physics, chemistry, and other related fields like biology, a phase transition (or phase change) is the physical process of transition between one state of a medium and another. Commonly the term is used to refer to changes among the basic states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, and in rare cases, plasma.

  5. List of states of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_of_matter

    Quantum spin Hall state: a theoretical phase that may pave the way for the development of electronic devices that dissipate less energy and generate less heat. This is a derivative of the quantum Hall state of matter. Quantum anomalous Hall state: A state which has a quantized Hall resistance even in the absence of external magnetic field.

  6. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.

  7. Phase rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_rule

    Phase rule. In thermodynamics, the phase rule is a general principle governing "pVT" systems, whose thermodynamic states are completely described by the variables pressure (p), volume (V) and temperature (T), in thermodynamic equilibrium. If F is the number of degrees of freedom, C is the number of components and P is the number of phases, then.

  8. Phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate

    In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H3PO4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO. 4]3−. is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H+.

  9. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    A quantum Hall state gives rise to quantized Hall voltage measured in the direction perpendicular to the current flow. A quantum spin Hall state is a theoretical phase that may pave the way for the development of electronic devices that dissipate less energy and generate less heat. This is a derivation of the Quantum Hall state of matter.
