Sodium hypophosphite Structural

What is Sodium hypophosphite?

Chemical properties

white crystalline powder or colourless crystals

The Uses of Sodium hypophosphite

Pharmaceuticals, reducing agent in electrode- less nickel plating of plastics and metals, lab reagent, substitute for sodium nitrite in smoked meats.

Reactions

Sodium hypophosphite, NaH2PO2 · H2O, white solid, soluble, formed (1) by reaction of hypophosphorous acid and sodium carbonate solution, and then evaporating, (2) by reaction of NaOH solution and phosphorus on heating (poisonous phosphine gas evolved).

Hazard

Explosion risk when mixed with strong oxi- dizing agents, decomposes to phosphine on heating, store in cool, dry place, away from oxidizing mate- rials.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Safety Profile

Poison by subcutaneous route. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame. Aqueous solutions may explode on evaporation. Potentially explosive reaction with oxidants (e.g., chlorates, nitrates). Heat causes it to evolve phosphne. It can explode. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of POx and Na2O.
