Question:

The concentration of SO2 in the troposphere over a certain region is 0.16 ppm by volume. The gas dissolves in rainwater as follows:
SO-(g) + H,O(1) H*(aq) + HSO, (aq)

Given that the equilibrium constant for the preceding reaction is 1.3 × 1022, calculate the pH of the rainwater. Assume that the reaction does not affect the partial pressure of SO2.
