Abstract
Since many of the reactions involving thionic acids occur in acid media, it was felt that a qualitative study of the stability of these substance in various concentrations of hydrochloric acid was desirable. One of the main reactions in acid media is said to be: The effect of thiosulphate and formaldehyde (which removes bisulphite) was therefore observed. Results obtained agreed with the above equation and also showed that as the number of sulphur atoms in the thionates increases, the concentration of acid in which the thionate is stable increases. Experiments conducted to ascertain the primary thionate produced in the decompsition of acidified thiosulphate solution are described, this being trithionate; a possible mechanism is suggested for this reaction.
