A disulfite, commonly known as metabisulfite or pyrosulfite, is a chemical compound containing the ion S
₂O²⁻
₅. It is a colorless dianion that is primarily marketed in the form of sodium metabisulfite or potassium metabisulfite. When dissolved in water, these salts release the hydrogensulfite HSO⁻
₃ anion. These salts act equivalently to sodium hydrogensulfite or potassium hydrogensulfite.
