Best Answer

2NaHSO3 + Br2 + H2O = NaBr + NaOBr + SO2 + H3O+

I am not happy with this answer - you have a positive charge appearing from nowhere. Also NaHSO3 is sodium bisulfite the questioner asked for sodium metabisulfite which is Na2S2O5 . However, sodium metabisulfite in the presence of water does convert to sodium bisulfite Na2S2O5 + H2O = 2NaHSO3

2NaHSO3 + Br2 + H2O = 2NaBr + H2SO4 + H2SO3

What is the formula sodium bromide and iodine?

Well, if your talking about the reaction between sodium bromide (NaBr) and Iodine, then I don't think that it will replace bromine. Bromine is higher on the reactivity series, so if they come into contact with each other, there won't simply be any reaction
