Description
Zinc sulfite is an inorganic compound that appears as a white crystalline powder. It is soluble in sulfurous acid, insoluble in cold water and alcohol, and decomposes in hot water. Zinc sulfite can react with strong acids to produce sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and the corresponding zinc salt. Its chemical formula is ZnSO₃, the molecular weight is 145.43 g/mol, and the density is about 3.8 g/cm³.

Zinc sulfite Use and Manufacturing
Zinc sulfite is used as a preservative in some industries to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Because it has oxygen absorbing properties. Zinc sulfite can be used as an intermediate for the preparation of other zinc compounds. In water treatment, Zinc sulfite is used to remove heavy metal ions from water. It can also be used in chemical experiments and research.
