Storage TempSodium sulfite should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool,
dry, place. In solution, sodium sulfite is slowly oxidized to sulfate by dissolved oxygen; strong acids lead to formation of sulfurous acid/
sulfur dioxide. On heating, sodium sulfite decomposes liberating
sulfur oxides.
