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.

Application

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.
