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
Leonard Cohen cheers me up !
Hydrophosphoric acid and hyrophosphoric acid don't exist.
The acid used in ephedrine reductions is HYPO-PHOSPHOROUS ACID.
GET IT :P
Leonard Cohen cheers me up !
This is the stuff that can be used for cooking meth - hypophosphorous acid.
