Sodium hypophosphite is a typical phosphorus containing reducing compounds, and the amount of phosphorus content in some industries in the application has played a certain role, the level of phosphorus content and the valence state of phosphorus plays a decisive role in the performance of the product. What is the phosphorus content of sodium hypophosphite?

Let's see, its molecular formula NaH2PO2, through the molecular formula we can obviously see that it has only one phosphorus atom, the molecular weight is 88, the molecular weight of phosphorus is 23, then we can calculate P%=23/88=26.14% through a simple chemical formula. Here refers to the pure compound, if the effective content is insufficient, it is necessary to calculate the true amount of phosphorus according to P%* effective content.

Through the above calculation, we can see that the phosphorus content of sodium hypophosphate is 26.14%. However, it should be pointed out that this kind of phosphorus belongs to positive +1 phosphorus and has very strong reducibility, which is why NaH2PO2 can play the role of antioxidant and reduction of metal ions in many industries.
