When allowed to react with superacids, sulfuric acid can act as a base and be protonated, forming the [H3SO4]+ ion.
How is H3PO4 formed?
In a wet process facility (see figure 1), phosphoric acid is produced by reacting sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with naturally occurring phosphate rock. The reaction also forms calcium sulfate (CaSO4), commonly referred to as gypsum.

How do you make phosphoric acid solution?
In a wet process facility (see figure 1), phosphoric acid is produced by reacting sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with naturally occurring phosphate rock. The reaction also forms calcium sulfate (CaSO4), commonly referred to as gypsum. The insoluble gypsum is separated from the reaction solution by filtration.
What is phosphoric acid used for?
Uses. Phosphoric acid is a component of fertilizers (80% of total use), detergents, and many household cleaning products. Dilute solutions have a pleasing acid taste; thus, it's also used as a food additive, lending acidic properties to soft drinks and other prepared foods, and in water treatment products.
What is the protonation of h2so4?
Protonation of water by sulfuric acid forms bisulfate ion (the conjugate base of sulfuric acid) and hydronium ion (the conjugate acid of water). In the reverse process, hydronium ion protonates bisulfate ion.
