Does this exist?

SO2+H2SO4=>H2S2O6
Apparently this is a dehydration reaction? (Yes SO2 is intentional not SO3)

According to this Powerpoint it exists:
http://srnl.doe.gov/hse_workshop/Gruet%20Electrolyzer%20Performance.pdf

(Page 12).

It shows it like: H2S2O6 -> SO2 + H2SO4

Hmm interesting I thought the question had an error. So how is the dehydration?

Are you referring to the dehydration reaction with sulfuric acid?

The above equation, how is it dehydration?

Aqueous reactants becoming solid product

I'm not sure that constitutes dehydration. The label hydration and dehydration are regardless of solvent.

I think it's to do with the number of waters inside the molecule. It is known that SO3 + H2O -> H2SO4, which is a hydration reaction (hydration of SO3), and the S in H2SO4 can be thought of as possessing one 'water'. In addition of SO2, the S in H2S2O6 no longer has a whole water, as it will be shared between two S atoms, thus the degree of hydration is lower.

But then, this labeling of organic reactions is rather.. unnecessary.
