Popular questions
Is calcium sulfite soluble in water?
It is only slightly soluble in water; its solubility increases in acidic conditions due to formation of bisulfite.
What is the formula for calcium sulfite?
CaSO3, commonly encountered as hydrates such as CaSO3·½H2O (hemihydrate) or CaSO3·4H2O (tetrahydrate).
1. how many grams of ca2+ are present in 4.28 grams of calcium sulfite?
About 1.43 g of Ca2+, assuming anhydrous CaSO3 (4.28 g × 40.08/120.16).
Balance calcium sulfite decomposes when heated to form calcium oxide and sulfur dioxide?
CaSO3 → CaO + SO2.
E226 girlsdoporn who?
E226 is the food additive code for calcium sulphite; the rest of the query appears unrelated to this additive.
Is ascorbic acid bad for you?
No—ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is considered safe at typical food levels and is essential for health; it’s GRAS in the U.S. and approved in the EU. Very high supplemental doses can cause gastrointestinal upset and, in susceptible people, increase kidney stone risk.
Can dogs have ascorbic acid?
Yes, small amounts in foods are safe, but dogs synthesize their own vitamin C and usually don’t need supplements. High doses may cause diarrhea, so consult a veterinarian before supplementing.
What is ascorbic acid made from?
Commercial ascorbic acid is typically made from glucose (often derived from corn, wheat, or cassava) that’s converted via microbial fermentation and chemical steps into L‑ascorbic acid.
How is ascorbic acid made?
Industrially, D‑glucose is converted to 2‑keto‑L‑gulonic acid by fermentation (or via the older Reichstein process: glucose → sorbitol → L‑sorbose → 2‑KGA) and then chemically cyclized to ascorbic acid. Modern methods use two-step fermentation to improve efficiency.
Is ascorbic acid the same as citric acid?
No—ascorbic acid (E300) is vitamin C and an antioxidant, while citric acid (E330) is a different compound mainly used as an acidulant and does not provide vitamin C.
