Preparation
Sodium pyrosulfate is obtained by the dehydration of sodium bisulfate:[4]
- 2 NaHSO4 → Na2S2O7 + H2O
Temperatures above 460 °C further decompose the compound, producing sodium sulfate and sulfur trioxide:
- Na2S2O7 → Na2SO4 + SO3
Applications
Sodium pyrosulfate was used in analytical chemistry. Samples are fused with sodium pyrosulfate to ensure complete dissolution before a quantitative analysis.[5][6]
gollark: GTech™ secret bases are kept secret by much more elegant and failsafe methods than just hoping nobody works out where I am sometimes.
gollark: I can fly very fast over the nether roof, so no.
gollark: It doesn't actually contain any extra information, except that CCEmuX was popular.
gollark: Great!
gollark: What about "Despite enduring popularity, it is now the opinion of some authors that CCEmuX is in fact not wholly good, and may indeed be bad"?
