Consider the following aqueous route to oxidize SO2:
SO2(aq) + H2O2(aq) -> H2SO4(aq) k = 1.1 X 10^3 L/mols

a. The partial pressure and Henry's law constants for SO2 and H2O2 are 2.1 ppm (KH = 1.2 mol L-1atm-1) and 4.8 ppb (KH = 1.0E5 mol L-1atm-1), respectively. Calculate the reaction rate of this process.

b. Calculate the reaction rate (per liter of air) if the amount of liquid water in the atmosphere is 0.02 g L-1.

Hint: Convert ppm and ppb to partial preferences, calculate rate.

Solution Preview

To convert ppm and ppb to partial pressures simply remember that 'm' and 'b' stand for 'per million' and 'per billion' respectively. For example, 3 ppm is therefore 3E-6 atm and 8 ppb is 8E-9 atm.

Henry's Law is simply ...
