Very odd reaction
I've noticed that when you dissolve iron out, which is sodium metabisulfite and sodium hydrosulfite, and then dissolve sodium bisulfate in it it will
suddenly turn dark orange and then slowly turn clear. What could possibly be going on here??

Pardon me for asking to reformulate, not the question specifically, but the event you reported if you tell a little more about how you dissolved the
iron, would be cool.
Iron has a rather not well undestood chemistry in aqueous solutions, its important to clarify the very conditions of the experiment so we put our
Vac's close to an idea.

There is no iron present.
Without pointing to any specifics, it is probably an intermediate in the acidic decomposition of the hydrosulfite.

Do you
mean to dissolve the iron out of some solution, or do you mean "Iron Out", a brand named product that scavenges dissolved iron? I suspect the latter,
but without using capitalization or even, egads!, explaining that it's a consumer product, the responses you get may not be as helpful as you would
like.
