Bisulfite
Bisulfite ion (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogen sulfite) is the ion HSO3−. Salts containing the HSO3− ion are termed bisulfites also known as sulfite lyes. For example, sodium bisulfite is NaHSO3.
Structure
Some evidence may suggest that the proton in bisulfite ion is located on sulfur, giving rise to C3v symmetry. There is, however, some evidence from 17O NMR spectroscopy to suggest that two tautomeric forms of HSO3− exist in dynamic equilibrium, one which has the proton attached to sulfur (HSO3−) and one which is protonated at oxygen (HOSO2−). The C3v structure is supported by X-ray crystallography and, in aqueous solution, by Raman spectroscopy (ν(S–H) = 2500 cm−1).
Reactions
Bisulfite salts are typically prepared by treatment of alkaline solutions with excess sulfur dioxide:
HSO3− is the conjugate base of sulfurous acid, H2SO3:
Sulfurous acid is not an isolable compound and does not appear to exist in solution either. An equilibrium that is much more consistent with spectroscopic evidence is given :

Pasa La Vida
by: Alejandra Gúzman(Sanchez/Valle)
Pasa la vida no mires atrás
pasa la vida sin pensar que dirán
pasa la vida de aquí para allá
todos empujan nadie con quien hablar
Pasa la vida pasa queda una cicatriz
sin poder maquillar pasa la vida pasa
con un nudo en la garganta y un mar de perlas por llorar
Pasa la vida no mires atrás
por cada golpe te devuelven mil más
si tienes miedo de escandalizar
ve a refugiarte en las faldas de mamá
Pasa la vida pasa va marcando la piel
y ni cuenta te das pasa la vida pasa
quien pudiera dar la vuelta
y volver a comenzar
Pasa la vida pasa si la tomas sin sal
puede que siente mal pasa la vida pasa
suelta el lastre vuela alto
a vivirla en libertad
Pasa la vida pasa
Pasa la vida pasa
Pasa la vida pasa
Pasa la vida pasa
Pasa la vida pasa
que está bien que está mal todos quieren mandar
pasa la vida pasa
a las penas puñaladas y a la panza un buen mezcal...
