{"product_id":"sodium-bisulfite-40-acs-grade","title":"Sodium Bisulfite 40% ACS Grade","description":"\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSodium Bisulfite 40% ACS Grade is a high-purity aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen sulfite (CAS 7631-90-5) — formulated to meet the stringent specifications established by the American Chemical Society. This chemical, represented by the molecular formula HNaO3S and a molecular weight of 104.06, functions primarily as a powerful reducing agent and dechlorination agent across various specialized industrial systems. Alliance Chemical distributes this precise 40% liquid formulation to ensure immediate utility in processing environments, removing the need for onsite dissolution of dry powder and minimizing associated dust inhalation hazards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur ACS Grade liquid formulation exhibits a clear to pale yellow appearance and carries a slight sulfurous odor, reflecting its active bisulfite content. With a typical pH range of 2.5–5.5 for a 10% aqueous solution, this product delivers consistent performance in chemical synthesis, redox chemistry, and photographic processing. As a trusted Texas chemical supplier, we manage rigorous quality controls to maintain the stability of this solution, preventing rapid decomposition and ensuring the assay remains at the stated concentration throughout its shelf life. We supply this solution in multiple packaging sizes to suit both laboratory and large-scale industrial requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Grade\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelecting ACS Grade sodium bisulfite at a 40% concentration is critical for applications where trace metallic impurities can interfere with sensitive chemical reactions or analytical procedures. The American Chemical Society standard guarantees exceptionally low limits for heavy metals, iron, and other potential contaminants. Utilizing a lower technical grade in analytical testing or high-precision manufacturing can introduce unwanted ions that poison catalysts, alter reaction kinetics, or cause precipitation in delicate equipment. For facilities managing high-throughput processes, using a verified 40% concentration ensures reliable stoichiometry without the variability associated with mixing dry crystalline sodium bisulfite on the factory floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA major failure mode in systems using substandard grades is the presence of excess sulfates or heavy metal residues, which can lead to unwanted side reactions and product discoloration. In water treatment and industrial bleaching operations, these impurities can degrade the efficiency of the dechlorination process, leading to equipment corrosion or failure to meet strict compliance parameters. By choosing this high-purity ACS solution, process engineers avoid the risks of inconsistent concentration drifts and particulate contamination. Alliance Chemical provides this premium grade to help maintain the integrity of your process, preventing costly downtime and batch contamination that often results from utilizing lower-tier industrial reagents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"chemical-profile\" data-source=\"canonical\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChemical Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCAS Number\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e7631-90-5\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eChemical Formula\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHNaO3S\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMolecular Weight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e104.06 g\/mol\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBoiling Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDecomposes (NIOSH, 2024) °C\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMelting Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDecomposes (NIOSH, 2024) °C\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFlash Point\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNon-flammable °C\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSpecific Gravity\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1.48 at 68 °F (USCG, 1999) - Denser than water; will sink\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eAppearance\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSodium bisulfite appears as white crystals or crystalline powder.
