Question

What is the difference between Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate) and Na2SO3 (sodium sulfite)? The Na2SO3 is used to convert Br2 into Br-, but the anhydrous Na2SO4 is used to dry your product.

00:01 Hello students in this question we have to differentiate difference between na2 so4 and na2 so3.
00:08 Now in general, na2 so4 consists of sulphate ion with 1 sulfur and 4 oxygen atoms and na2 so3 consists of sulfur ion with 1 sulfur and 3 oxygen item.
00:27 Now we can differentiate these 2 compound.
00:31 In that first about na2 so4 can be prepared by the following process or mechanism having the reaction h2so4 plus twice nacl it gives na2 so4 plus twice scl in that na2 so3 the first point is na2 so3 the first point is is the sodium salt of sulfur acid having the molecular formula prepared by it dissolve n -a -o -h in h2 -s -o -3.
01:44 Now in second difference in n -a2 -s -o -4 the oxidation state of sulfur is plus 6...
