Tetrasodium pyrophosphate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as sodium pyrophosphate, this salt is composed of pyrophosphate and sodium ions. The reagent is available as a crystalline white power which is soluble in water. It has a melting point of 79.5 C and decomposes on boiling. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate is generated by the reaction of phosphoric acid with sodium carbonate to form disodium phosphate, which is then heated to 450 C. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
