Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic, Anhydrous (Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate)

BAKER ANALYZED® ACS Reagent Suitable for Buffer Solutions

Product Number 3828 Na2HPO4 FW: 141.96 CAS Number: 7558-79-4

THE BAKER BAKER ANALYZED® Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic Anhydrous undergoes more stringent testing than required by Industry Standards.
ADVANTAGE: Arsenic and Iron are critical specifications where BAKER ANALYZED Sodium Phosphate, Dibasic surpasses Industry Standards.
Additionally, Baker phosphates are known among scientists to be low in trace insoluble matter that can interfere in buffer solution
applications. High assay, low iron, and minimal insolubles lead to more consistent experimental performance.
Description: A hygroscopic white powder that will absorb moisture from the air (to form a dihydrate or heptahydrate). Very soluble in water.
Manufacturing Process: Sodium Phosphates are manufactured by reacting phosphoric acid with sodium carbonate. The resulting solution is filtered to
remove silica, iron and other phosphates. The solution proceeds to a crystallizer to precipitate out the sodium phosphate, dibasic.
The crystals are then centrifuged and the mother liquor is returned to the reactor. The crystals, currently in a 12-hydrate form, are
dried to produce the anhydrous salt.
Helpful Hints for Since the anhydrous form of dibasic sodium phosphate is very hygroscopic, it is desirable to dry it before weighing when precise
Accurate Experiments: quantitation is important. Drying at 120° C for 2–4 hours will be sufficient to return the salt to the anhydrous form. Cool the dried
powder in a desiccant before weighing.
Applications: • Polarography
• Chromatography
• Buffer Solutions
• Diagnostics

Analysis
Assay 99.0% min. 99.1% 99.0% min. Phosphorous pentoxide, sodium oxide and other phosphates are co-produced
with the dibasic sodium phosphate. Consistent high assay assures that
co-produced contaminants have been removed.
Insoluble Matter 0.01% 0.006% 0.006% Sodium phosphate, dibasic is commonly used in buffer solutions. Therefore,
insoluble matter is extremely important to minimize because insolubles may
clog filters and interfere with analysis.
Loss on Drying at 105°C 0.2% 0.03% 0.2% The higher the loss on drying, the greater the water content. Minimizing loss on
drying assures the integrity of the chemical has been maintained.
pH of 5% Solution at 8.7–9.3 9.1 8.7–9.3 pH is checked to assure suitability in various biological and diagnostic solution
25°C applications.
Chloride 0.002% <0.001% 0.002% Chloride ions compete with phosphate and can interfere in biological
applications. Low chloride assures more consistent results.
Sulfate 0.005% <0.005% 0.005% Sulfate will compete with phosphate in buffer applications, causing
irreproducible results.
Heavy Metals (as Pb) 0.001% <0.0005% 0.001% As, Ag, Bi, Cd, Cu, Hg, Ma, Pb, Sb, and Sn are analyzed. Heavy metals render many
biological systems inactive and are important to minimize.
Iron 0.002% <0.0005% 0.002% Iron is a common impurity in sodium phosphate. Lower iron assures better
reproducibility when Sodium Phosphate is used in biological work.
