monosodium phosphate anhydrous - Names and Identifiers
monosodium phosphate anhydrous - Physico-chemical Properties
Molecular Formula | H2NaO4P
|
Molar Mass | 119.977011 |
Physical and Chemical Properties | White crystalline powder. Melting point 190 ℃. Easily soluble in water, its aqueous solution is acidic. When heated to 225~250 ℃, it will be dissolved into sodium acid pyrophosphate, and when heated to 350~400 ℃, it will be dissolved into sodium metaphosphate. When monohydrate and dihydrate are heated to 100 ℃ and 95 ℃, they lose crystal water and become anhydrous sodium dihydrogen phosphate respectively. Slightly hygroscopic. |
