Detail Description

🧪 Chemical Identity Name: Tri‑Sodium Phosphate Dodecahydrate Formula: Na₃PO₄·12H₂O Molar Mass: ~380 g/mol Appearance: White crystalline solid, often granular or powdery CAS Number: 10101‑89‑0 ⚗️ Physical & Chemical Properties Solubility: Highly soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. pH: Strongly basic (around 11–12 in aqueous solution). Stability: Stable under normal conditions; loses water of hydration upon heating. Density: ~1.62 g/cm³ Melting Point: Decomposes before melting, releasing water. 🔧 Industrial & Practical Uses Cleaning Agent: Widely used in detergents and degreasers due to its alkalinity. Water Treatment: Helps prevent scale formation and corrosion. Food Industry: Sometimes used as an emulsifier or acidity regulator (though restricted in many regions). Construction: Acts as a flux in ceramic and cement processes. Laboratory: Serves as a buffering agent in chemical experiments. 🌍 Safety & Environmental Notes Hazards: Strongly alkaline; can cause skin and eye irritation. Handling: Use gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Environmental Impact: Excessive discharge may contribute to eutrophication in water bodies. 📊 Comparative Notes Compared to Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate (NaH₂PO₄), Tri‑Sodium Phosphate is much more alkaline. The dodecahydrate form is less concentrated than the anhydrous salt but easier to handle due to its crystalline stability.
