TriSodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate) or Tribasic Sodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate) is a common pharmaceutical chemical TriSodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate) or Tribasic Sodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate) is a common pharmaceutical chemical Tri Sodium Phosphate TriSodium Phosphate (12 Hydrate)or Tribasic Sodium Phosphate is a common pharmaceutical chemical Tri Sodium Phosphate or Dibasic Sodium Phosphate is a common pharmaceutical chemical having a white crystal-like appearance. One of many sodium phosphates, Tri Sodium Phosphate is an inorganic sodium compound with a dihydrogen phosphate anion Na2HPO4. It has an IUPAC name of Sodium dihydrogen phosphate and is also known under the name, TriSodium Phosphate, Tribasic Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate Tribasic, TriSodium Hydrogen Phosphate, Tri Sodium Mono hydrogen Orthophosphate. Generally, the salt exists in three forms: anhydrous, monohydrate and dihydrate. Therefore also knows as TriSodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate), Triibasic Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate Tribasic(12 Hydrate), TriSodium Hydrogen Phosphate, TriSodium Mono hydrogen Orthophosphate(12 Hydrate)
What does Hydrate Stand for ?
Hydrate is any compound that contains water of crystallization and when a hydrate contains one mole of water per mole of compound, we obtain a monohydrate.
The Anhydrous form of this compound is useful in various ways:
1. It is used as a food additive in animal feed, evaporated milk, and toothpaste.
2. It is used as an emulsifier as well as a thickening agent.
3. The presence of magnesium ion can be detected with the help of this salt.
The monohydrate form of monosodium phosphate(12 Hydrate) is a reagent with a large buffering capacity. This inorganic sodium compound finds wide application in the field of biochemistry, molecular biology, and chromatography.
It has various alternative names such as: Sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate; as Tri Sodium Phosphate(12 Hydrate) , Tribasic Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate Tribasic, Tri Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate, Tri Sodium Mono hydrogen Orthophosphate(12 Hydrate)
The monohydrate salt is used in the:
1. Purification of antibodies.
2. Manufacture of leather and textile products.
Dihydrate form of monosodium phosphate.
As a matter of fact, we obtain a dihydrate when two moles of water combine with per mole of compound. A highly hygroscopic and water-soluble compound, monosodium phosphate dihydrate is a reagent with a large buffering capacity.
The dihydrate salt is used:
1. As a flavoring reagent and a food additive.
2. In the manufacture of paper and pulp products.
