1.

Microcosmic salt is

  • Na4P2O7

  • Na(NH4)HPO4

  • Na(NH3)HPO4H2O

  • MgNH4PO4


B.

Na(NH4)HPO4

Microcosmic salt is Na(NH4)HPO4. It is white crystalline solid. It is separated by fractional crystallisation.

It is obtained when NH4Cl and Na2HPO4 are dissolved in hot water and cooled.

NH4Cl + Na2HPO4 → Na(NH4)HPO4 + NaCl

It is used for the detection of certain, basic radicals which forms coloured mixed phosphate with NaPO3.

Na(NH4)HPO4  NaPO3 + NH3 + H2O

NaPO3 + CoO → NaCo.PO4
