Sodium pyrosulfate (also known as disodium disulfate) is a sodium salt of disulfuric acid, with the formula Na2S2O7.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
Sodium pyrosulfate decomposes when heated above 460 °C to give sodium sulfate and sulfur trioxide:
- Na2S2O7 → Na2SO4 + SO3
This reaction is a convenient way of obtaining sulfur trioxide, as it does not require complex installations.
Physical
Sodium disulfate is a white salt, soluble in water.
Availability
Sodium pyrosulfate is rarely available from suppliers. Sigmaaldrich used to sell sodium disulfate fused with sodium bisulfate.
Preparation
Sodium pyrosulfate can be easily made by heating sodium bisulfate at temperatures between 200-400 °C:
- 2 NaHSO4 → Na2S2O7 + H2O
However, other authors indicate different temperature decomposition ranges.[1]
Projects
- Make sulfur trioxide
- Make ammonium pyrosulfate
