Disulfurous acid or pyrosulfurous acid is an oxoacid of sulfur with the formula H₂S₂O₅. The salts of disulfurous acid are called disulfites or metabisulfites. Disulfurous acid is, like sulfurous acid (H₂SO₃), a phantom acid, which does not exist in the free state.^[2] In contrast to disulfate (S
₂O⁻
₇), disulfite has two directly connected sulfur atoms. The oxidation state of the sulfur atom bonded to three oxygen atoms is +5 while that of the other is +3.
