Sodium Hydrosulphite (Sodium Dithionite)

Sodium Hydrosulphite (Sodium Dithionite)

Appearance: White powder

Chemical Name: Sodium dithionite

Chemical Formula: Na2S2O4

Properties: Sodium hydrosulphite is not stable under physiological conditions; the decomposition rate increases with acidity. Upon contact with moisture, it oxidizes into hydrogen sulphite, sulphite, and hydrogen sulphate. It can release sulfur dioxide under strongly acidic conditions.
