CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Physical Description Potassium metabisulfite appears as a white granular or powdery solid with a sharp odor of sulfur dioxide. Decomposes at 150 to 190 °C. Density 2.3 g / cm3. Contact severely irritates skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Low toxicity. Used as a food preservative and an antioxidant.
Color/Form White crystals or crystalline powder
Odor Sulfur dioxide odor
Melting Point Decomposes at approximately 150 °C
Solubility Freely soluble in water; insoluble in alcohol
Density 2.3 g/cu cm
Stability/Shelf Life When stored at a maximum temperature of 25 °C and a maximum relative humidity of 45%, the shelf life is 6 months.
Decomposition Potassium metabisulfite decomposes at temperatures above 150 °C. In the air, it oxidizes to the sulfate, more readily in the presents of moisture.
Other Experimental Properties Liberates SO2 with acids; oxidizes in air to sulfate, more readily in presence of moisture
Chemical Classes Other Classes -> Sulfites
