Silver sulfite is the chemical compound with the formula Ag₂SO₃. This unstable silver compound when heated and/or in light it decomposes to silver dithionate and silver sulfate.[4]

Preparation

Silver sulfite can be prepared by dissolving silver nitrate with the stoichiometric quantity of sodium sulfite solution, yielding a precipitation of silver sulfite by the following reaction:

2 AgNO₃ + Na₂SO₃ ⇌ Ag₂SO₃ + 2 NaNO₃

After precipitation then filtering silver sulfite, washing it using well-boiled water, and drying it in vacuum.[4]

gollark: I don't know what the changes in it are and I woke up 10 minutes ago.

gollark: No.
