Ammonium orthophosphates (Ammonium phosphates, ammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, ammonium orthophosphate, single — substituted ammonium orthophosphate, double-substituted ammonium orthophosphate, ammonium phosphate, E342) are ammonium salts of orthophosphoric acid.
Types of ammonium orthophosphates (ammonium phosphates):
- (i) Single-substituted ammonium orthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate, [NH4]3PO4);
- (ii) Diammonium orthophosphate (diammonium phosphate, [NH4]2HPO4).
