  • $\begingroup$ BTW, such an acid salt is hard to achieve due to multiple equilibriums between all phosphites and hydrogenphosphite species. The closest we can have is potassium dihydrogenphosphite, $\ce{KH2PO3}$ which forms the addendum, $\ce{KH2PO3.H2(HPO3)}$. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 25, 2022 at 13:29
  • $\begingroup$ @NilayGhosh I have quite intentionally avoided physical availability of the acid, considering formal aspect. I suspect the author of the task may have made it up to trick the resolvers, catching them on unusual attributes of acids of phosphorus. $\endgroup$
