Sodium sulfite heptahydrate is a soluble, hydrated sodium salt of sulfurous acid (sulfite) with the chemical formula Na2SO3·7H2O. It is also used as a preservative to prevent discoloration of objects. Sodium sulfite exhibits bleaching, desulfurizing, and dechlorinating properties. It is also useful as an oxygen scavenger in photography, tanning, paper & pulp, steam boilers where it plays a key role in remediating corrosion corrosion problems. In synthetic chemistry, sodium sulfite heptahydrate is used as a sulfonation agent, as well as in the production of sodium thiosulfate.
