Sodium thiosulfate, Sodium sulfite, soda, sea wave, is common sulfate, Chemical formula is Na2S2O3, Molecular weight is 158.108, It is the product of the substitution of an oxygen atom by a sulfur atom in sodium sulfate, so the oxidation numbers of the two sulfur atoms are -2 and +6, respectively.
Sodium thiosulfate is colorless, clear crystal or crystalline fine grain; Odorless, salty taste; It is weathering in dry air and deliquescence in wet air. Easily soluble in water, aqueous solution shows weak alkaline reaction; Reaction with strong acid produces sulfur elemental and sulfur dioxide gas. With the participation of thiocyanase, it can be combined with the cyanide ion free in the body or with methemoglobin to form a non-toxic thiocyanate from the urine and cyanide poisoning. In addition, it can also combine with a variety of metal ions to form non-toxic sulfides discharged from the urine, and also has a desensitization effect. Clinically used for cyanide and nitrile poisoning, arsenic, bismuth, iodine, mercury, lead poisoning treatment, and the treatment of skin pruritus, chronic dermatitis, chronic urticaria, drug rash, scabies, ringworm and so on.
