Zn2HPO3 is an unclear chemical substance, you might have made a mistake in writing the chemical formula.
However, if you’re referring to Zn3(PO3)2, it’s a derivative of the metal zinc (Zn) and phosphite (PO3^2-). It can be called Zinc Phosphite in English.
1.2. The atomic mass of this substance includes 3 zinc atoms, 2 phosphorus atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
1.3. The atomic masses of the chemical elements in Zn3(PO3)2 are: Zn=65.38, P=30.97, O=15.999.
1.4. In Zn3(PO3)2, zinc ion (Zn2+) and phosphite ion (PO3^3-) bond together to form a complex ion network.
- Characteristics of Zn3(PO3)2:
2.1 Physical properties: Zn3(PO3)2 is typically a white, odorless solid, insoluble in oil and most organic solvents but soluble in acid and water.
2.2 Chemical properties: Zn3(PO3)2 reacts with acid to form zinc salt, water, and phosphorus gas.
