Sodium bisulfate, also known as sodium hydrogen sulfate, is a white crystalline salt composed of sodium and hydrogen sulfate.
Its chemical formula is NaHSO4, with a molecular weight of 120.06, and its CAS number is 7681-38-1. Another term for sodium bisulfate is sulfuric acid, monosodium salt.
Sodium bisulfate serves primarily as a fluxing agent in the analysis of minerals and poorly soluble salts, and for cleaning platinum equipment. Its efficacy stems from the ability of hydrogen sulfate to transform into a soluble sulfate upon melting with insoluble salts, a process known as hydrogen sulfate melting.
Additionally, sodium bisulfate functions as a food additive, enhancing pancake mixes, beverages, dressings, sauces, and meat processing, and preventing browning in fresh-cut produce. It offers a preferred alternative to citric, malic, or phosphoric acid for reducing pH without increasing acidity, also serving as an anti-browning agent.
Its other uses include metal surface treatment, bitumen treatment agents, water disinfectants, pH adjusters, and applications in the soap, brick, cement, and papermaking industries.
Sodium bisulfate, lacking a boiling or melting point, decomposes into Na2S2O7 at approximately 315°C. With a density of 2.74 g/cm3, it is a stable, hygroscopic acid salt, highly soluble in water at 50 g/100 mL, yielding strongly acidic solutions.
Though highly toxic to some echinoderms, it is nearly harmless to many other organisms, making it a strategic choice for managing crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks.
Anhydrous sodium bisulfate is produced by reacting concentrated sulfuric acid with sodium chloride and applying heat until melting occurs.
NaOH + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + H2O
The monohydrate form results from the reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid with an aqueous solution of sodium sulfate.
Na2SO4 + 2H2O + H2SO4 → 2NaHSO4·H2O
Sodium bisulfate is industrially synthesized as an intermediate in the Mannheim process, through the reaction of sodium chloride with sulfuric acid.
NaCl + H2SO4 → HCl + NaHSO4
Above 300°C, sodium bisulfate dehydrates, forming sodium pyrosulfate, which further decomposes into sodium sulfate and releases SO3 upon heating.
2NaHSO4 → Na2S2O7 + H2O
Na2S2O7 → Na2SO4 + SO3
While sodium bisulfate is not covered by major safety regulations, it is classified as a corrosive substance, necessitating careful handling.
