The average concentration of SO(2) in th...

The average concentration of `SO_(2)` in the atmosphere over a city on a cetrain day is 10 ppm, when the average temperature is 298 K. Given that the solubility of `SO_(2)` in water at 298 K is `1.3653` mol `litre^(-1)` and the `pK_(a)` of `H_(2)SO_(3)` is `1.92`, estimate the pH of rain on that day.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`[SO_3] = [H_2SO_3] = 1.3653 M , H_2SO_3 iff H^(+) + HSO_3^(-) , K_a = 1.2 xx 10^(-2)`

The dissociation of weak electrolyte (a weak base or weak acid) is expressed in terms of Ostwald's dilution law. An acid is substance which furnishes a proton or accepts an electron pair, where a base is proton acceptor or electron pair donor. Stronger is acid, weaker is its conjugate base. The dissociation constants of an acid (K_(a)) and its conjugate base (K_(b)) are related by K_(w)=K_(a)xxK_(b) , where K_(w) is ionic product of water equal to 10^(-14) at 25^(@)C . The numerical value of K_(w) however increase with temperature. In a solution of an acid or base [H^(+)][OH^(-)]=10^(-14) . Thus the [H^(+)] in a solution is expressed as: [H^(+)]=10^(-pH) and pH+pOH=14 . Buffer solution are the solutions which do not show appreciable change in the pH on addition of small amount of acid or base.
