Fluorophosphoric acid is produced by treating phosphorus pentoxide with hydrogen fluoride. It can also be prepared by hydrolysis of phosphorus oxyfluoride.[1] The reaction first produces difluorophosphoric acid:

POF3 + H2O → HPO2F2 + HF

The next steps give monofluorophosphoric acid:

HPO2F2 + H2O → H2PO3F + HF

Complete hydrolysis gives phosphoric acid:

H2PO3F + H2O → H3PO4 + HF

Reactions

Fluorophosphoric acid is a dibasic acid, with pKas of 3.5 and around 8.5. The conjugate bases are the monofluorophosphates, which are hydrolytically robust.

gollark: I think the actual IRC protocol is full of ridiculous stuff and legacy cruft anyway, but I like the *concept*.
gollark: Discord is entirely centralized, all your stuff is just hosted on their servers.
gollark: IRC is, critically, *decentralized* - anyone can run an IRC server. Theoretically, anyway.
gollark: Not really.
