  2. Hypophosphorous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypophosphorous_acid

    The formula for this acid is generally written H 3 PO 2, but a more descriptive presentation is HOP(O)H 2, which highlights its monoprotic character. Salts derived from this acid are called hypophosphites. [3] HOP(O)H 2 exists in equilibrium with the minor tautomer HP(OH) 2. Sometimes the minor tautomer is called hypophosphorous acid and the ...

  3. Phosphoric acids and phosphates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoric_acids_and...

    The general formula of a phosphoric acid is H n−2x+2 P n O 3n−x+1, where n is the number of phosphorus atoms and x is the number of fundamental cycles in the molecule's structure; that is, the minimum number of bonds that would have to be broken to eliminate all cycles.

  4. Sodium fusion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_fusion_test

    The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH. To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl. This shows the presence of nitrogen in the organic ...

  5. Phosphorous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorous_acid

    It reduces solutions of noble metal cations to the metals. When phosphorous acid is treated with a cold solution of mercuric chloride, a white precipitate of mercurous chloride forms: H 3 PO 3 + 2 HgCl 2 + H 2 O → Hg 2 Cl 2 + H 3 PO 4 + 2 HCl. Mercurous chloride is reduced further by phosphorous acid to mercury on heating or on standing:

  6. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

    A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

  7. Sodium phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_phosphate

    It is a cyclic polyphosphate with the formula Na 6 [(PO 3) 6]. Crystalline high molecular weight polyphosphates include Kurrol's salt and Maddrell's salt (CAS#10361-03-2). These species have the formula [NaPO 3 ] n [NaPO 3 (OH)] 2 where n can be as great as 2000, and it is a white powder practically insoluble in water.

  8. Amphoterism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphoterism

    The water molecule is amphoteric in aqueous solution. It can either gain a proton to form a hydronium ion H 3 O +, or else lose a proton to form a hydroxide ion OH −. [7] Another possibility is the molecular autoionization reaction between two water molecules, in which one water molecule acts as an acid and another as a base. H 2 O + H 2 O ...

  9. Aqueous solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_solution

    An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is mostly shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula . For example, a solution of table salt , also known as sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na + (aq) + Cl − (aq) .
