Trisodium phosphate. A sodium phosphate is a generic variety of salts of sodium (Na+) and phosphate (PO3− 4). Phosphate also forms families or condensed anions including di-, tri-, tetra-, and polyphosphates. Most of these salts are known in both anhydrous (water-free) and hydrated forms. The hydrates are more common than the anhydrous forms.
In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid. It most commonly means orthophosphate, a derivative of orthophosphoric acid, a.k.a. phosphoric acid H3PO4. The phosphate or orthophosphate ion [PO. 4]3−. is derived from phosphoric acid by the removal of three protons H+.
Phosphoric acids and phosphates. Pyrophosphoric acid. In chemistry, a phosphoric acid, in the general sense, is a phosphorus oxoacid in which each phosphorus (P) atom is in the oxidation state +5, and is bonded to four oxygen (O) atoms, one of them through a double bond, arranged as the corners of a tetrahedron.
Infobox references. Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 3 P O 4. It is a white, granular or crystalline solid, highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. TSP is used as a cleaning agent, builder, lubricant, food additive, stain remover, and degreaser. [7]
Disodium phosphate (DSP), or disodium hydrogen phosphate, or sodium phosphate dibasic, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 2 H P O 4. It is one of several sodium phosphates. The salt is known in anhydrous form as well as hydrates Na2HPO4·nH2O, where n is 2, 7, 8, and 12. All are water-soluble white powders.
Infobox references. Ammonium phosphate is the inorganic compound with the formula (NH 4) 3 PO 4. It is the ammonium salt of orthophosphoric acid. A related "double salt", (NH 4) 3 PO 4. (NH 4) 2 HPO 4 is also recognized but is impractical to use. Both triammonium salts evolve ammonia.
The pyrophosphate anion has the structure P 2 O 4− 7, and is an acid anhydride of phosphate. It is unstable in aqueous solution and hydrolyzes into inorganic phosphate: P 2 O 4− 7 + H 2 O → 2 HPO 2− 4. or in biologists' shorthand notation: PP i + H 2 O → 2 P i + 2 H +
Disodium pyrophosphate or sodium acid pyrophosphate (SAPP) [1] is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 2 H 2 P 2 O 7. It consists of sodium cations (Na+) and dihydrogen pyrophosphate anions (H2P2O2− 7). It is a white, water-soluble solid that serves as a buffering and chelating agent, with many applications in the food industry.
