Sodium Metabisulfite(Food & Tech Grade)

CAS No.: 7681-57-4

Molecular Formula: Na₂S₂O₅

Molecular Weight: 190.10

White or light yellow crystalline powder , relative density is 1.4 . Soluble in water (when 20°C, 54g/100ml water; when 100°C,81.7g/100ml water), acidic aqueous solution. Soluble in glycerine,slightly soluble in ethanol. Moisture easily decomposed, exposed in the air easily oxidized into sulfate. Exposure to emit sulfur dioxide and acid generated the corresponding salts. Heated to 150°C decomposition.
