Question

Write balanced chemical equation of action of dilute sulfuric acid on sodium sulfite?

Answer 1

1. The chemical equation showing of action of dilute sulfuric acid on sodium sulfite yielding sodium sulfate as the main product can be written as :
2. $$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4+{\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_3\to {\mathrm{Na}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+{\mathrm{SO}}_2\uparrow \\ (\mathrm{Dil}.\mathrm{sulfuric}(\mathrm{sodium}(\mathrm{sodium}(\mathrm{water})(\mathrm{sulfur} \\ \mathrm{acid})\mathrm{sulfite})\mathrm{sulfate})\mathrm{di}-\mathrm{oxide}) \end{gathered}$$
