Sodium pyrosulfate, or Disodium disulfate, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula is Na2S2O7.
Sodium pyrosulfate is obtained by the dehydration of sodium bisulfate:
Temperatures above 460 °C further decompose the compound, producing sodium sulfate and sulfur trioxide:
Sodium pyrosulfate is used in analytical chemistry; samples are fused with sodium pyrosulfate to ensure complete dissolution prior to a quantitative analysis.
