| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Red solid. Decomposes on heating and
in water, forming phosphine.
| [Hazard]
Dangerous fire risk, reacts with water and
acids to form phosphine.
| [Synthesis]
Sodium phosphide can be produced by a chemical reaction between phosphorus and metallic sodium. Sodium phosphide reacts immediately with water to produce a highly toxic and flammable gas. Na3P + 3H2O → 3NaOH + PH3↑ |
