Ammonium phosphomolybdate is the inorganic salt of phosphomolybdic acid with the chemical formula (NH4)3PMo12O40. The salt contains the phosphomolybdate anion, a well known heteropolymetalate of the Keggin structural class.
Synthesis
Ammonium phosphomolybdate can be made by heating ammonium orthomolybdate combined with phosphoric acid and nitric acid, yielding ammonium nitrate, water, and a yellow precipitate of ammonium phosphomolybdate is obtained.[3]
- 12 (NH4)6Mo7O24(H2O)4 + 7 Na2HPO4(H2O) + 65 HNO3 → 7 (NH4)3Mo12PO40 + 51 NH4NO3 + 14 NaNO3 + 91 H2O
Normally, it often exists as a hexahydrate, a dark yellow fine crystal which is poorly soluble in water.[3]
It is also obtained as a test result for phosphate ions.
