| | Potassium hypophosphite Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | White, opaque crystals or powder; pun-
gent saline taste; very deliquescent. Soluble in water
and alcohol; decomposed by heat.
| | Production Methods | Potassium hypophosphite, KH2PO2, white solid, soluble, formed (1) by reaction of hypophosphorous acid and potassium carbonate solution, and then evaporating, (2) by reaction of potassium hydroxide solution and phosphorus on heating (poisonous phosphine gas evolved). | | Hazard | Moderate fire risk, may explode if ground
with chlorates, nitrates, or other strong oxidizing
agents.
