Answer 1

c. remove the scale faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphoric Acid is a colorless and odorless inorganic acid.

It is a weak acid with the chemical formula H ₃PO ₄.

This acid is used to make fertilizers. It is also used in the sugar and textile industries.

It can remove the rust easily as it does not dissolve it.
