Sodium bisulfite decomposition conditions
Thread Content
Does anyone know what the specific conditions for the decomposition of sodium bisulfite are?
I just heard that sodium bisulfite decomposes easily when heated.
I just want to know the specific temperature at which sodium bisulfite decomposes
Sulfur dioxide gas is released when heated to 65°C: lol :victory:
The decomposition of sodium bisulfite is primarily influenced by temperature and acidity. It begins to decompose when heated, and it also starts to decompose when concentrated sulfuric acid is added; however, this is only the beginning of the decomposition process. For complete decomposition, it is necessary to heat it above boiling point and to add concentrated sulfuric acid in order to create a more acidic environment, otherwise the decomposition will not be complete.
