hydro-phosphoric acid

I must put this question to rest, in my mind. To me, Hydo-phosphoric acid(easy to obtain), just needs to be boiled a bit to release the hydrogen bond, therefore making it adequate for making chili.......

That makes no sense at all.

Are you talking about hypophosphorous acid (H2PO2), and what are you suggesting to do with it?

Phosphoric acid comes in these forms :

Meta-, Pyro- and Ortho-

Other acids :

Phosphorous Acid : H3PO3
Hypo-phosphorus Acid : H3PO2

Hydrophosphoric acid and hyrophosphoric acid don't exist.

The acid used in ephedrine reductions is HYPO-PHOSPHOROUS ACID.

GET IT  :P

This is the Merck Index entry for hypophosphoric acid which is useless for cooking meth.

  Monograph number: 4915
  Title: Hypophosphoric Acid. 
  CAS Registry number: [7803-60-3]
  Molecular formula: H4O6P2
  Molecular weight: 161.98
  Composition: H 2.49%, O 59.27%, P 38.24%. 
  Literature references: Prepn from its salts:  Salzer, Ann. 187, 322 (1877); 211, 1 (1882).  Review:  Ohashi, "Lower Oxo Acids of Phosphorus and Their Salts" in Topics in Phosphorus Chemistry, Vol. 1, M. Grayson, E. J. Griffith, Eds. (Interscience, New York, 1964) pp 113-187.
  Properties: Orthorhombic plates, mp 70 deg (easily forms a dihydrate, mp 55 deg), usually available only in aq soln.  The aq acid is colorless and odorless; dec on concn at atm pressure.  Readily forms crystallizable normal and acid sodium salts.
  Melting point: 70; 55

  USE:  Acid sodium salts in baking powders.
