List of top Environmental Chemistry Questions on Acid-Base Equilibria of Dissolved Sulfur Species asked in GATE ES

The following two reactions describe the chemistry of S(IV) in an aquatic system.

Under ideal conditions, the equilibrium constants for reactions (i) and (ii) are \(1.3\times10^{-2}\ M\) (\(K_{S1}\)) and \(6.6\times10^{-8}\ M\) (\(K_{S2}\)), respectively.

If the pH of the system is 4.0 and the equilibrium concentration of \(SO_{2(aq)}\) is 1.0 M, the equilibrium concentration of \(SO_3^{2-}\) is ______ mM (rounded off to one decimal place).

\[SO_{2(aq)} \rightleftharpoons H^+ + HSO_3^- \quad (i)\]

\[HSO_3^- \rightleftharpoons H^+ + SO_3^{2-} \quad (ii)\]
