POTASSIUM SULFITE Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Chemical Properties

White crystals or powder. Soluble in water; sparingly soluble in alcohol; decomposes on heating and slowly oxidizes in air.

Chemical Properties

Potassium sulfite, K2SO3·2H2O; potassium hydrogen sulfite, KHSO3; white solids, similar in properties and formation to the corresponding sodium sulfites.

Uses

Potassium Sulfite is used as a fabric treatment chemical.

Uses

Photographic developer, medicine (cathartic), food and wine preservative.

Definition

potassium sulphite: A white crystallinesolid, K2SO3, soluble in waterand very sparingly soluble inethanol; r.d. 1.51; decomposes onheating. It is a reducing agent and isused as such in photography and inthe food and brewing industries,where it prevents oxidation.

Safety Profile

When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx and K2O. See also SULFUROUS ACID and SULFITES.

Synthesis

Similar to other alkali metal sulfites, potassium sulfite can be produced by passing sulfur dioxide through a solution of potassium hydroxide, and if the sulfur dioxide is in excess, potassium bisulfite is obtained. Zinc powder or sodium amalgam can reduce potassium sulfite to potassium conidiosulfite (K2S2O4).
