PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is a white, crystalline, odorless inorganic compound, also known as sodium hyposulfite. It readily dissolves in water and is an efflorescent substance, meaning it loses water easily. It decomposes when heated. This compound has various applications, including generating heterocycles in chemical processes. In water treatment, it is used to reduce chlorine levels. In metallurgy, it plays a key role in gold recovery. Additionally, sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is commonly used in photography as a fixing agent, as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, and in chemical analysis, particularly in iodometry.
