Super Triple Phosphate
Well, I'm actually considering dosing
some phosphate because my levels are
always unmeasurable and I want to
experiment. Wisdom of that aside, might
anyone be able to help me with a few
questions?
1) Isn't Super Triple Phosphate CaH4(PO4)2?
I can't figure out why the bag I bought
says 46% P2O5. I can't get the molecular
weights to figure.
2) I wonder what the significance of
P2O5 is? I thought phosphate was PO4.
3) Are there more suitable sources for
phosphate than CaH4(PO4)2: K2HPO4,
KH2PO4, Ca(H2PO4)2+H2O? Has anyone
tried any of these?
4) There's Phosphoric Acid in Coke and
Pepsi, maybe I should use them. Who
knows what an SAE might do given some
caffine and a phosphate fostered algae
bloom! :-)
Many thanks to any Chemists.
