Sodium pyrosulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula of Na ₂S ₂O ₇. ^[1] It is a colorless salt. ^[3] It hydrolyses in water to form sodium bisulfate with a chemical formula of NaHSO4 which has a pH of around 1.

Preparation [ edit ]

Sodium pyrosulfate is obtained by the dehydration of sodium bisulfate : ^[4]^[5]

2 NaHSO ₄ → Na ₂S ₂O ₇ + H ₂O

Temperatures above 460 °C further decompose the compound, producing sodium sulfate and sulfur trioxide :

Na ₂S ₂O ₇ → Na ₂SO ₄ + SO ₃

Applications [ edit ]

Sodium pyrosulfate was used in analytical chemistry . Samples are fused with sodium pyrosulfate to ensure complete dissolution before a quantitative analysis . ^[6]^[7]
