Character of Na3PO4.12H2O: Na3PO4.12H2O is colorless or white crystallization. Relative density is 1.61(20centigrate). It dissolves in water, and its watery solution assumes strong alkalescence. Meanwhile, it can not dissolve in ethanol and carbon dioxide. When it is heated up to 100 centigrade losing 11 crystals water and become Na3PO4.H2O. When it is heated up to 212 centigrade, it comes the anhydrous Na3PO4.12H2O. I t is easy to airslake in dry air. Its watery solution has the certain corrosive to skin.
