Sodium hypophosphite purity is 102%, how to explain it?
Specification:
NaH2PO2.H2O %≥102
Na2HPO3 %≤0.3
Ca %≤0.001
Fe %≤0.0002
SO4 %≤0.01
CL %≤0.003
PH 6--8
Pb %≤0.0001
Anyone can explain that?

Idiocy IMHO. Probably some artifact of assay method or hygroscopicity.

You can check the Spec. of Sodium hypophosphite on alibaba, the purity is 102%. I don't know why ?

Purity is determined by a redox titration, but the reagent contains also other reductor Na2HPO3 and titration determines all reductors.

Couldn't this simply be due to w/v% being used?
Like 102g hypophosphite in 100mL water would be 102%w/v.
