Sodium Meta biSulphate : preparation , physical and chemical properties , pharmaceutical uses , incompatibility.

 

 Sodium meta bisulphate [Na₂S₂O₅]

Or

Sodium puri sulfate, 

Na₂S₂O₅ commercially produced salt of sulphurous acid, is a preservative used to extend the shelf life of meat products such as fresh sausages and burgers, even though it can have adverse effects on some people, especially asthmatics.Na₂S₂O₅ is not permitted in several countries for use in meat products. Chemically, Na₂S₂O₅ 67% sulphur dioxide (SO2). When SMBS is applied to a meat product, the Na₂S₂ reacts with water and, as a rule of thumb, around 50–55% added Na₂S₂O₅ can be found analytically in the meat product as SO2. Some SO2 is ‘lost’ as a result of countless reactions and cannot be detected any longer. Therefore meat products are not analysed with regard to their Na₂S₂O₅ content. The level of SO2 has to be measured instead and food standards refer to the SO2 level, rather than the Na₂S₂O level, of a product. 


*Preparation*

Sodium meta bi sulphate is produced by passing Sulphur Dioxide into a hot concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and saturated it .
 makes sodium bisulfate which is converted into a sodium meta bi sulphate.

NaOH  + SO₂  → NaHSO₃

2NaHSO₃  → Na₂S₂O₅ + H₂O


physical property

*It is colourless Prismatic crystalline powder which may become yellowish on keeping.

* its odour like Sulphur and saline taste.

* it is a powerful reducing agent.

* it is freely soluble in water.

Chemical property

*On heating it  decomposes into sodium sulphide and Sulphur dioxide.

Na₂S₂O₅  → Na₂SO₃ + SO₂ 


* it reduces iodine per magnet , dichromatic ferric salt .


2I₂ + Na₂S₂O₅ +3H₂O  → 4HI + 2NaHSO₄



Pharmaceutical uses


* it is used in laboratory.

* it is powerful reducing agent .

*it is used and antioxidant in pharmaceutical preparation to stabilize injection containing salt, adrenaline, apomorphine.

* it is used as anti microbial preservative.

*It is also used in preparation of photographic develops .

* it is used an antichlor (after bleaching paper or cloth with chlorine).

Chemical incompatibility

Since it is reducing so it reduce halogen and paramagnet.

2I₂ + Na₂S₂O₅ +3H₂O  → 4HI + 2NaHSO₄



Storage condition

It should be kept in well closed container because it is a reducing agent.

   Gastrointestinal agent Gastrointestinal agents are drug which produce different effect in the gastrointestinal tract. Medications for gastrointestinal diseases and symptoms include prescription and nonprescription drugs, conventional and unconventional agents, simple small molecules, complex macromolecules and large recombinant proteins. These medications are can be classified based upon their use: drugs for nausea and vomiting (antiemetics), prokinetic agents, laxatives, antidiarrheal agents, drugs for acid peptic disease, drugs for irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and, of course, miscellaneous. Agents used for gastrointestinal disease rarely cause liver injury. One reason for this is that they are often locally active and result in little systemic exposure. The immunomodulatory agents used to treat inflammatory bowel disease are an exception, being given systemically, often intravenously and capable of causing liver injury, although not very frequently.

Sodium thio sulphate : Preparation , physical & chemical properties , pharmaceutical uses , storage condition.

   Sodium Thio Sulphate [Na₂S₂O₃.5H₂O] Sodium thio sulphate is used as a medication to treat cyanide poisoning, pityriasis versicolor, and to decrease side effects from cisplatin. For cyanide poisoning it is often used after the medication sodium  nitrite and typically only recommended for severe cases. Preparation * It can also prepared by passing sulphur dioxide into sodium sulphide. 2Na₂S + 3SO₂  → 2Na₂S₂O₃ + 1/2 S₂ * one half of a concentrated solution of sodium carbonate is saturated with Sulphur dioxide and the other half added to it then sodium sulphide is formed. Na₂CO₃ + 2SO₂ + H₂O → 2NaHSO₃ + CO₂ Na₂CO₃  +  2NaHSO → 2Na₂S₂O₃  + H₂O + CO↑ Physical property * it is colourless odourless and transparent crystalline powder. * it have bitter taste. * it is very soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. * it have melting point 56℃. *In its anhydrous form, sodium thiosulfate has a molar mass of 158.11 grams per mole. The more commonly available pentahydrate from, Na 2 S 2 O 3 .5H 2

Sulphur Dioxide : Preparation , Physical and Chemical property , uses and Storage condition.

   Sulphur Dioxide                     [SO₂] Overview Sulfur dioxide is a respiratory irritant that is highly soluble in the aqueous surfaces of the respiratory airways. Because of this high solubility, most of the sulfur dioxide is absorbed in the nose and upper airways and very little reaches the lungs directly. Inhalation of high ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide can cause stimulation of the nerves in the air passages, resulting in a reflex cough, irritation, and chest tightness. At extremely high concentrations, the death or pathological changes including laryngotracheal and pulmonary edema can be induced in the respiratory tract of experimental animals. The gas is quite corrosive and can also cause damage to buildings and other materials. It is very acidic *preparation* Sulphur dioxide is prepared by the reaction of metallic sulphide or metallic by sulphite with dilute acid.  or  Sulphur Dioxide is prepared by the action of dilute sulphuric acid or sulphite.
