Hi, can someone please give me a hint to this problem?
The concentration of SO2 in the troposphere over a certain region is 0,16 ppm by volume. The gas dissolves in rainwater as follows:
SO2(g) + H2O(l) >> H+(aq) + HSO-3(aq)
Given that the equilibrium constant for the preceding reaction is 1.3e-2. We assume the reaction does not affect the partial pressure of SO2.
I've tried everything I can think of. I am not sure how to handle HSO3 in the equation, is it the same conc. as H+?
In trouble
