Sodium hypophosphite, NaH2PO2
The Sodium hypophosphite is formed by the interaction of sodium hydroxide and phosphorus:
P4+3NaOH+3H2O =3NaH2PO2+PH3. It can also be obtained by decomposing the calcium or barium salt by the action of sodium carbonate in alcoholic solution. Sodium hypophosphite is a powerful reducer. On heating it evolves phosphine, the reaction being often so violent as to cause explosion: 5NaH2PO2 =Na4P2O7+NaPO3+2PH3+2H2. At 21.5° C. the heat of formation from sodium hydroxide and the acid is 15.16 Cal., and that from the elements in solution is 198.4 Cal. The electric conductivity has been studied by Arrhenius. |
