Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate
Disodium phosphate (DSP), or disodium hydrogen phosphate, or sodium phosphate dibasic, is the inorganic compound with the formula Na2HPO4. It is one of several sodium phosphates. The salt is known in anhydrous form as well as forms with 2, 7, 8, and 12 hydrates. All are water-soluble white powders; the anhydrous salt being hygroscopic. The pH of disodium hydrogen phosphate water solution is between 8.0 and 11.0, meaning it is moderately basic: :HPO42− + H2O H2PO4− + OH− Production and reactions It can be generated by neutralization of phosphoric acid with sodium hydroxide: :H3PO4 + 2 NaOH → Na2HPO4 + 2 H2O Industrially It is prepared in a two-step process by treating dicalcium phosphate with sodium bisulfate, which precipitates calcium sulfate:Klaus Schrödter, Gerhard Bettermann, Thomas Staffel, Friedrich Wahl, Thomas Klein, Thomas Hofmann "Phosphoric Acid and Phosphates" in ''Ullmann’s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'' 2008, Wiley-VCH, Weinhei ...

Sodium Phosphite
Disodium hydrogen phosphite is the name for inorganic compounds with the formula Na2HPO3.(H2O)x. The commonly encountered salt is the pentahydrate. A derivative of phosphorous acid (HP(O)(OH)2), it contains the anion HPO32−. Its common name suggests that it contains an acidic hydrogen atom, as in sodium hydrogen carbonate Sodium bicarbonate (IUPAC name: sodium hydrogencarbonate), commonly known as baking soda or bicarbonate of soda, is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. It is a salt composed of a sodium cation ( Na+) and a bicarbonate anion ( HCO3∠.... However, this name is misleading as the hydrogen atom is not acidic, being bonded to phosphorus rather than oxygen. The salt has reducing properties. It is white or colorless solid, and is little studied. References Phosphites Inorganic phosphorus compounds Sodium compounds {{Inorganic-compound-stub ...
