Title: What's this reaction?
Post by: Yeah Bob on February 04, 2021, 06:47:53 AM

I wanted to know what the reaction is between potassium metabisulfite and sodium hypochlorite is. I couldn't find it on Google, does anyone know?

Sodium and potassium metabisulfite are often used interchangeably. Look for a reaction with the sodium derivative. You can write down two reactions depending on the molar ratios of the oxidant and reducing agent.
