This chemical reaction involves the formation and interconversion of sulfur dioxide (SO2), sodium sulfite (Na2SO3), and sulfurous acid (H2SO3).
The reaction can be represented as:
SO2 + Na2SO3 + H2SO3 -> 2NaHSO3
In this reaction, sulfur dioxide reacts with sodium sulfite and sulfurous acid to produce sodium hydrogen sulfite.
Here's a brief explanation of the reaction steps:
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) reacts with water (H2O) to form sulfurous acid (H2SO3):SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3
Sulfurous acid (H2SO3) then reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to produce sodium sulfite (Na2SO3):H2SO3 + 2NaOH -> Na2SO3 + 2H2O
Finally, sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) reacts with sulfur dioxide (SO2) and sulfurous acid (H2SO3) to form sodium hydrogen sulfite (NaHSO3):Na2SO3 + SO2 + H2SO3 -> 2NaHSO3
This reaction is a complex series of steps that involve the interconversion of sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, and sulfurous acid ions.
