Physical and Chemical Properties | Sodium phosphite is a trivalent normal salt, the chemical formula is Na2HPO3.5H2O, white crystalline powder, good solubility, solubility in water at room temperature 100g/100ML, heated to the decomposition temperature decomposition to generate sodium phosphate and ph3. Sodium phosphite pH value between 9-10, is a positive salt, two is not acid salt, sodium phosphite is acid salt, two molecular structure, phosphorus, sodium content is completely different. Sodium phosphite contains low valence of 3 phosphorus, with reduction characteristics, can reduce metal ions, in water treatment, surface processing and other industries have a certain use, can also be used as an analytical reagent. |

use | sodium phosphite and sodium hypophosphite are new products of phosphate, which are widely used in chemical and material fields and are mainly used as various reducing agents. Because the reducibility of sodium phosphite is weaker and more stable than sodium hypophosphite, it can replace sodium hypophosphite as a reducing agent to a certain extent, and has better stability and safety. |
