It is made by the action of cold water on phosphorus (III) oxide or phosphorus (III) chloride.

P2O3 + 3H2O → 2H3PO3
PCl3 + 3H2O → H3PO3 + 3HCl

Physical properties:

It is a white crystalline solid in appearance with garlic taste.

Chemical Properties:

1. Acidic nature:

It is a dibasic acid and provides salts of two types.

H3PO3 + NaOH → NaH2PO3 + H2O
                     Sodium dihydrogen Phosphite

H3PO3 + 2NaOH → Na2HPO3 + 2H2O
                        Disodium hydrogen Phosphite

2. Whenever it is heated it undergoes auto-oxidation and reduction to made phosphoric acid and phosphine.
