Sodium hypophosphite (NaPO 2 H 2, also known as sodium phosphinate) is the sodium salt of hypophosphorous acid and is often encountered as the monohydrate, NaPO 2 H 2 ·H 2 O. It is a solid at room temperature, appearing as odorless white crystals. It is soluble in water, and easily absorbs moisture from the air.
One type of amphoteric species are amphiprotic molecules, which can either donate or accept a proton (H +). This is what "amphoteric" means in Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory . For example, amino acids and proteins are amphiprotic molecules because of their amine ( −NH 2 ) and carboxylic acid ( −COOH ) groups.
The specific polyphosphate generated depends on the details of the heating and annealing. One derivative is the glassy (i.e., amorphous) Graham's salt (sodium hexametaphosphate). It is a cyclic polyphosphate with the formula Na 6 [(PO 3) 6]. Crystalline high molecular weight polyphosphates include Kurrol's salt and Maddrell's salt (CAS#10361
The salt is obtained by partial neutralization of phosphoric acid. The pK a of monosodium phosphate is 6.8-7.2 (depending on the physicochemical characteristics during pK a determination). [2] Heating this salt above 169 °C gives disodium pyrophosphate: 2 NaH 2 PO 4 → Na 2 H 2 P 2 O 7 + H 2 O. When heated at 550 °C, anhydrous trisodium ...
The most important sodium compounds are table salt (NaCl), soda ash (Na 2 CO 3), baking soda (NaHCO 3), caustic soda (NaOH), sodium nitrate (NaNO 3), di- and tri-sodium phosphates, sodium thiosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ·5H 2 O), and borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 ·10H 2 O). [7] In compounds, sodium is usually ionically bonded to water and anions and is ...
A typical derivative is the salt [NH 4][HP(O) 2 OH]. [7] [6] Many related salts are known, e.g., RbHPHO 3, CsHPHO 3, TlHPHO 3. These salts are prepared by treating phosphorous acid with the metal carbonate. These compounds contain a layer polymeric anion consisting of HPO 3 tetrahedra linked by hydrogen bonds. These layers are interleaved by ...
Hypophosphorous acid (HPA), or phosphinic acid, is a phosphorus oxyacid and a powerful reducing agent with molecular formula H 3 PO 2.It is a colorless low-melting compound, which is soluble in water, dioxane and alcohols.
The commonly encountered salt is the pentahydrate. [1] A derivative of phosphorous acid (HP(O)(OH) 2), it contains the anion HPO 3 2−. Its common name suggests that it contains an acidic hydrogen atom, as in sodium hydrogen carbonate. However, this name is misleading as the hydrogen atom is not acidic, being bonded to phosphorus rather than ...
