Compound Q&A
How is hexasodium tetraphosphate (CAS: 7727-67-5) typically synthesized?
Answer
Hexasodium tetraphosphate is synthesized through the reaction of sodium hypophosphite with phosphoric acid in the presence of a catalyst like sodium hydroxide. The process involves the formation of sodium tetraphosphate, which is then neutralized with excess sodium hydroxide to produce the final product. The yield is typically around 90%, and the selectivity is excellent, with minimal by-products.
