Not to be confused with Bisulfide or Hydrosulfite.
Equilibrium reaction relating the two tautomers of bisulfite.
The bisulfite ion (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogensulfite) is the ion HSO− 3. Salts containing the HSO− 3 ion are also known as "sulfite lyes".[1] Sodium bisulfite is used interchangeably with sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5). Sodium metabisulfite dissolves in water to give a solution of Na+HSO− 3.
Na2S2O5 + H2O → 2Na[HSO3]
