Product of NaHSO4.H2O + SO3???

sabdilla - 28-8-2009 at 21:45

Can anyone tell me what the product/s of this reaction is? All I know is it should be a decomposition reaction. Or if nothing happens, why?

NaHSO4.H2O + SO3 (g)-----> ???
(in words this is: sodium hydrogen sulfate monohydrate plus sulfur trioxide)

Any help would be great!

NaHSO4.H2O + SO3 (g) => NaHSO4(s) + H2SO4 (l)

Members here are more interested in the preparation of SO3 from bisulphates by thermolysis than the other way round. . .
2NaHSO4---> Na2SO4 + H2O +SO3

Yeah, this was obviously a homework question and should have been in the begginings section of the forum if here at all.
