- Orthophosphoric acid is H3PO4 & phosphorous acid is H3PO3.
- In orthophosphoric acid there are three hydrogen atoms linked to oxygen atoms but in phosphorous acid there are two hydrogen atoms bonded to oxygen atoms while the third hydrogen atom is directly linked to phosphorous. So orthophosphoric acid is tribasic & phosphorous acid is dibasic.
