Sodium sulfite (CAS 7757-83-7) is white crystalline or powder form; triangular prism crystal shape; alkaline water solution with pH at 99.5; The highest water solubility is about 28% with temperature at 33.4°C. When exposed to air, it is oxidized to form sodium sulfate. When heated to high temperature, it decomposes to form sodium sulfide; Density: 2.633(15.4°C), Refractive Index: 1.565; Molecular Weight: 126.04.
