7790-76-3 Usage
Description
Calcium pyrophosphate has the molecular formula of
Ca2P2O7 and the molecular weight of 254.1378 g/mol. It
has the CAS number of 7790-76-3. It may be prepared by
the solid-state reaction of the dibasic orthophosphate, or
alternately by the precipitation of a soluble Ca salt with
aqueous pyrophosphoric acid:
2CaHPO4 + heat ? Ca2P2O7 +H2O
CaCl2 (aq) +H4P2O7 (aq) ? Ca2P2O7 (solid) + 2HCl (aq)
The solid-state reaction produces an amorphous crystal
at 240–500°C. b-Ca2P2O7 forms >750°C and a-Ca2P2O7
forms in the temperature range of 1140 to 1350°C. The
free energy of formation, △Gf=-3132 kcal/mol.
The product of the aqueous method is the dihydrate,
Ca2P2O7·2H2O. It is a white powder and has the CAS
number of 7790-76-3. It is insoluble in water but soluble
in dilute acids. The anhydrate decomposes at 1353°C to
form a metaphosphate:
Ca2P2O7 + heat ? Ca(PO3)2 + CaOCalcium pyrophosphate is dimorphic. The phase
transformation and sintering behaviors of Ca2P2O7 with
different phase composition has been investigated by
using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), dilatometery and
SEM techniques. It was found that although α-Ca2P2O7
(high-temperature form) could be maintained during its
cooling process, it was metastable and retransformed
into β-Ca2P2O7 (low-temperature form) at about 950 °C
during its reheating process.

Nonflammable
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7790-76-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,9 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7790-76:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*9)+(3*0)+(2*7)+(1*6)=133
133 % 10 = 3
So 7790-76-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
