Sodium Bisulfite

Sodium bisulfite ACS grade is a white, crystalline solid with a sulfurous odor. It is soluble in water and forms a mildly acidic solution. The compound is commonly produced by passing sulfur dioxide gas through a solution of sodium carbonate. Sodium bisulfite is a chemical mixture with the approximate formula NaHSO3. It is not a pure compound, but rather a mixture of salts that dissolve in water to form solutions containing hydrogensulfite. Also known as Sulfurous Acid Monosodium Salt and Sodium Hydrogen Sulfite, sodium bisulfite is widely utilized in various industries as a reducing agent, catalyst, and preservative due to its antioxidative and antibacterial properties. The aqueous solutions of sodium bisulfite exhibit acidic characteristics. When degraded with acid, sodium bisulfite produces sulfur dioxide gas. The ACS grade of sodium bisulfite guarantees high purity, which is crucial for precise laboratory analysis and experimentation.
