MUSCAT CHEMICAL TAG::
Molybdic Acid is the hydrated forms of molybdenum trioxide. It is used for the determination of phosphorus or phosphate and lead. It is also used in glazes for ceramics, in manufacturing of Rock Phosphate based Fertilizers, Pigments, Dyes, Colors etc.
Incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.
Molybdic acid is used as a precursor in the production of ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate and molybdenum(IV) sulfide. The mixture of molybdic acid in concentrated sulfuric acid is called as Froehde reagent, which finds application in analytical chemistry for the detection of alkaloids.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adult men and women is 45 μg/day. The average dietary intake of molybdenum by adult men and women is 109 and 76 μg/day, respectively. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is 2 mg/day, a level based on impaired reproduction and growth in animals.
