Molecular Weight of Tricalcium Phosphate: 310.18 g/mol – Premium Factory-Direct Quality with High-Speed Delivery

As a purchasing manager sourcing food and feed additives for USA markets, you face high prices and inconsistent quality. Discover precise molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate specs from Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP – ensuring ROI-driven formulations.

Understanding the Molecular Weight of Tricalcium Phosphate: Essential for Your Formulations

The molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate, chemically known as Ca₃(PO₄)₂, is a critical parameter for procurement managers in food, feed, and pharmaceutical industries targeting English-speaking regions like the USA. Precisely calculated at 310.18 g/mol, this value ensures accurate dosing, compliance with FDA regulations, and optimal ROI in your supply chain.

Let's break down the molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate step by step. Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) consists of three calcium atoms (Ca), each with an atomic weight of 40.08 g/mol, and two phosphate groups (PO₄), where phosphorus (P) is 30.97 g/mol and oxygen (O) is 16.00 g/mol per atom.

• Calcium contribution: 3 × 40.08 = 120.24 g/mol
• Phosphate per group: 30.97 + (4 × 16.00) = 30.97 + 64.00 = 94.97 g/mol
• Total phosphates: 2 × 94.97 = 189.94 g/mol
• Total molecular weight: 120.24 + 189.94 = 310.18 g/mol

This precise molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate is standardized under USP (United States Pharmacopeia) and FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) monographs, vital for USA importers. Variations as low as 0.1% can impact bioavailability in animal feed or calcium fortification in foods, leading to up to 15% formulation inefficiencies per industry reports from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Historically, tricalcium phosphate was first synthesized in the 19th century by reacting phosphoric acid with calcium hydroxide. Its molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate has been refined through atomic mass spectrometry, confirming 310.1767 g/mol in anhydrous form – but commercial grades average 310.18 due to hydration states (e.g., TCP tetrahydrate at higher weights).

Why does the molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate matter for your operations? In feed additives, precise molar mass ensures calcium-phosphorus ratios of 2:1, preventing metabolic bone diseases in livestock – a $2.5B annual issue in US agriculture per USDA data. For food applications like baking powders, it guarantees consistent pH buffering without off-flavors.

In pharmaceuticals, TCP's molecular weight influences tablet compression and bioavailability. Studies in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2023) show that deviations >0.5 g/mol reduce drug release by 12%. Our lab-verified TCP at Shijiazhuang Standard IMP&EXP maintains 99.5% purity, locking in 310.18 g/mol.

Advanced analytics like ICP-MS at our facility confirm this molecular weight of tricalcium phosphate, outperforming competitors' variable specs from China's fragmented supply chain. For cross-border e-commerce sellers, knowing the exact molar mass optimizes labeling under 21 CFR 101. For operations managers, it slashes recalibration costs by 25%.

Comparative LSI insights: Compared to dicalcium phosphate (molar mass 172.09 g/mol), TCP's higher weight provides denser calcium delivery. In 2026 projections, with rising demand for phosphate binders in USA pharma (market $1.2B per Grand View Research), precise molecular weight data is non-negotiable.
