Beryllium Phosphite Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Beryllium phosphite can have the formulas of either Be(OH)HPO3 or Be(OH)(H2PO3)2. It is the former that appears when phosphorous acid is reacted with the oxide, hydroxide or carbonate:
BeO (s) +H3PO3 (aq) ? [Be(OH)]2HPO3
The product is the hydrogen phosphite. If the sodium salt is employed, then the product is likely to be the phosphite:
BeO (s) + Na3PO3 ? [Be(OH)]3PO3
On heating, it decomposes around 400°C to form the pyrophosphite:
3[Be(OH)]3PO3 + heat ? Be3(PO3)2 = {Be3P2O6} + 3H2 + PH3
