A '''phosphate''' is chemical derivative of [[phosphoric acid]]. The phosphate ion, ({{chem|PO|4|3−}}), is an [[inorganic chemical]], the conjugate base that can form many different salts. In [[organic chemistry]], a phosphate, or [[organophosphate]], is an [[ester]] of phosphoric acid.<br />
<br />
==Properties==<br />
With the exception of alkali metal phosphates and ammonium phoshphates, phosphate salts are generally not soluble in water at standard temperature and pressure.<br />
<br />
As a rule, the hydrogen and dihydrogen phosphates are slightly more soluble than the corresponding phosphates. Aqueous phosphate exists in four forms:<br />
* In strongly basic conditions, the phosphate ion ({{chem|PO|4|3−}}) predominates,<br />
* In weakly basic conditions, the [[hydrogen phosphate]] ion ({{chem|HPO|4|2−}}) is prevalent. <br />
* In weakly acidic conditions, the dihydrogen phosphate ion ({{chem|H|2|PO|4|−}}) is most common.<br />
* In strongly acidic conditions, trihydrogen phosphate ({{chem|H|3|PO|4}}) is the main form.<br />
<br />
==Availability==<br />
Phosphates are readily available as fertilizer.<br />
<br />
[[Phosphoric acid]] is sold in hardware stores as rust remover.<br />
<br />
==Handling and safety==<br />
Inorganic phosphates are generally non-toxic.<br />
