Definition
potassium sulphite: A white crystallinesolid, K2SO3, soluble in waterand very sparingly soluble inethanol; r.d. 1.51; decomposes onheating. It is a reducing agent and isused as such in photography and inthe food and brewing industries,where it prevents oxidation.
Safety Profile
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of SOx and K2O. See also SULFUROUS ACID and SULFITES.
