Sulfurous Acid and Sodium Hydroxide

H₂SO₃ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₃ + 2H₂O

Ikhtisar

Sulfurous acid reacts with two equivalents of sodium hydroxide to form sodium sulfite and water. Sulfurous acid is formed when sulfur dioxide dissolves in water and is a diprotic acid. It is unstable and cannot be isolated as a pure substance.
