磷和磷酸盐有什么区别?

我们向剑桥大学化学家Ljiljana Fruk提出了这个问题……

Ljiljana -嗯。所以磷和硫是元素。这些化学元素有特定的原子质量，它们含有一定数量的质子和电子。磷酸盐是磷酸的盐。而磷酸是由磷与氧和水反应，经过一定的过程而得的。硫酸盐也是如此。硫酸盐是硫酸的盐。也就是说，这是一个有趣的问题。我提到过磷酸盐和硫酸盐它们对我们身体的功能都非常非常重要。例如，磷酸盐是我们新陈代谢的重要调节器。 They're also very often used in fertilisers. The same thing with sulphur and sulphate. We could hardly imagine the world without sulphates. And actually now in this pandemic, we all use soap, and we are encouraged to wash our hands and one of the main ingredients of soap and soapy compounds is actually sodium laureth sulphate. So both elements and their salts are extremely important from metabolic point of view, but also from the industrial development point of view.
