A '''Sodiumsodium phosphate''' is a generic term for a variety of [[salt (chemistry)|salt]]s of [[sodium]] ({{chem2|Na<sup>+</sup>}}) and [[phosphate]] (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>{{chem2|PO4(3−</sup>)}}). Phosphate also forms families or condensed anions[[anion]]s including di-, tri-, tetra-, and polyphosphates[[polyphosphate]]s. Most of these salts are known in both [[anhydrous]] (water-free) and [[hydrated]] forms. The hydrates are more common than the anhydrous forms.<ref name=Ullmann>{{Ullmann|author1=Klaus Schrödter, |author2=Gerhard Bettermann, |author3=Thomas Staffel, |author4=Friedrich Wahl, |author5=Thomas Klein, |author6=Thomas Hofmann "|title=Phosphoric Acid and Phosphates" in ''Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry'' 2008, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim. {{|doi|=10.1002/14356007.a19_465.pub3|year=2012}}</ref>
 
==Uses==
Sodium phosphates have many applications in food and for water treatment. For example, sodium phosphates are often used as [[emulsifier]]s (such as in [[processed cheese]]),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sodiumphosphateformula.com/tag/monosodium-phosphate |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402120338/http://www.sodiumphosphateformula.com/tag/monosodium-phosphate |archive-date=2015-04-02 |title=Monosodium Phosphate {{!}} Sodium Phosphate Formula}}</ref> [[thickening agent]]s, and [[leavening agent]]s for baked goods.

==Adverse effects==
OralSodium phosphates are popular in commerce in part because they are inexpensive and because they are nontoxic at normal levels of consumption.<ref>{{cite journal | pmc = 3120105| year = 2011| last1 = Razzaque| first1 = M.

There are several oral phosphate formulations which are prepared extemporaneously. Oral phosphate prep drugs have been withdrawn in the United States, although evidence of causality is equivocal.<ref>

==Monophosphates==
Three families of sodium monophosphates are common, those derived from orthophosphate (PO<sub>4</sub><sup>{{chem2|PO4(3−</sup>)}}), hydrogen phosphate (HPO<sub>4</sub><sup>{{chem2|HPO4(2−</sup>)}}), and dihydrogenphosphate (H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup>{{chem2|H2PO4−}}). Some of the most wellbest known salts are shown in the following table.

Beyond the diphosphates, sodium salts are known triphosphates, e.g. [[sodium triphosphate]] and tetraphospatestetraphosphates. The cyclic polyphosphates, called metaphosphates, include the trimer [[sodium trimetaphosphate]] and the tetramer, Na<sub>3</sub>P<sub>3</sub>O<sub>9</sub>{{chem2|Na3P3O9}} and Na<sub>4</sub>P<sub>4</sub>O<sub>12</sub>{{chem2|Na4P4O12}}, respectively.
 
Polymeric sodium phosphates are formed upon heating mixtures of NaH<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>{{chem2|NaH2PO4}} and Na<sub>2</sub>HPO<sub>4</sub>{{chem2|Na2HPO4}}, which induces a [[condensation reaction]]. The specific polyphosphate generated depends on the details of the heating and anneallingannealing. One derivative is the [[glass]]y (i.e., amorphous) [['''Graham's salt''' ([[sodium hexametaphosphate]]). It is a cyclic polyphosphate with the formula {{chem2|Na6[(PO3)6]}}. Crystalline high molecular weight polyphosphates include '''Kurrol's salt''' and '''Maddrell's salt''' (CAS#10361-03-2). These species have the formula {{chem2|[NaPO<sub>3</sub>NaPO3]<sub>_{''n</sub>''}[NaPO<sub>3</sub>NaPO3(OH)]<sub>2</sub>}} where ''n'' can be as great as 2000, and it is a white powder practically insoluble in water. In terms of their structures, these polymers consist of PO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>{{chem2|PO3−}} "monomers"units, with the chains are terminated by protonated phosphates.<ref name=Ullmann/><ref name=G&E>{{Greenwood&Earnshaw2nd|page=530}}</ref>
