A '''disulfite''', commonly known as '''metabisulfite''' or '''pyrosulfite''', is a ] containing the ion {{chem|S|2|O|5|2−}}. It is a colorless dianion that is primarily marketed in the form of ] or ]. When dissolved in water, these salts release the hydrogensulfite {{chem|H|S|O|3|−}} anion. These salts act equivalently to ] or ].<ref>{{cite book|doi=10.1002/9780470132333.ch49|isbn=9780470132333|chapter=Sulfites and Pyrosulfites of the Alkali Metals|series=Inorganic Syntheses|year=1946|last1=Johnstone|first1=H.

A '''disulfite''', commonly known as '''metabisulfite''', is a ] containing the '''disulfite ion''' ('''metabisulfite ion''') .


==Chemistry== ==Structure==
In contrast to ] ({{chem|S|2|O|7|2−}}), disulfite ion ({{chem|S|2|O|5|2−}}) has an unsymmetrical structure with an S-S bond. The oxidation state of the sulfur atom bonded to 3 oxygen atoms is +5 while oxidation number of other sulfur atom is +3.<ref>{{cite journal|first1=I.|last1=Lindqvist|first2=M.|last2=Mörtsell|title=The Structure of Potassium Pyrosulfite and the Nature of the Pyrosulfite Ion". |journal=] |date= 1957|volume=10 |pages=406–409 |doi=10.1107/S0365110X57001322 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
===Production of the disulfite ion===


The anion consists of an SO<sub>2</sub> group linked to an SO<sub>3</sub> group, with the negative charge more localized on the SO<sub>3</sub> end. The S–S bond length is 2.22&nbsp;Å, and the "thionate" and "thionite" S–O distances are 1.46 and 1.50&nbsp;Å respectively.<ref>K. L. Carter, T. A. Siddiquee, K. L. Murphy, D. W. Bennett "The surprisingly elusive crystal structure of sodium metabisulfite" ''Acta Crystallogr.'' (2004). '''B60''', 155–162. {{doi|10.1107/S0108768104003325}}</ref>
The disulfite ion is a ] of the ] ion (HSO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>). It can arise from:


===Production===
Salts of disulfite ion are produced by dehydration of salts of ] ion ({{chem|HSO|3|−}}). When solutions of ] or ] are evaporated, ] and ] result.<ref>{{Ullmann|doi=10.1002/14356007.a25_477|isbn=3527306730|title=Sulfites, Thiosulfates, and Dithionitesl Chemistry|year=2000|last1=Barberá|first1=José Jiménez|last2=Metzger|first2=Adolf|last3=Wolf|first3=Manfred}}</ref>

Although the equilibrium lies far to the left, evaporation of a bisulfite salt will produce a substantial amount of disulfite.<ref name=Bassam>Bassam Z. Shakhashiri: The University of Wisconsin Press, 1992, p.9</ref>
''']'''


Disulfite is the conjugate base of ] (pyrosulfurous acid), which originates from ] in accordance with the dehydration reaction above:<br />
In aqueous solution, the disulfite ion is formed in minor amounts by dehydration of bisulfite in an equilibrium:
: 2 HSO<sub>3</sub><sup></sup> (aq) ] S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub><sup>2&minus;</sup> (aq) + H<sub>2</sub>O (l) :2 H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>3</sub> → 2 {{chem|HSO|3|−}} + 2 H<sup>+</sup> H<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O


The disulfite ion also arises from the addition of ] to the ] ion:
Although the equilibrium lies far to the left, evaporation of a bisulfite salt will produce a substantial amount of disulfite.<ref name=Bassam>Bassam Z. Shakhashiri: The University of Wisconsin Press @Google Books, 1992, p.9</ref>

In fact, disulfite is the ion of ] (pyrosulfurous acid), which originates from ] in accordance with the dehydration reaction above:<br />
:2 H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>3</sub> → 2 HSO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> + 2 H<sup>+</sup> → H<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>O


'''addition'''

The disulfite ion also arises from the addition of ] to the ] ion:<br />
