Question:

Sulfur dioxide can be generated by the reaction of sodium hydrogen sulfite with hydrochloric acid. 

(a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction, given that the other products are sodium chloride and water. 

(b) If 1.9 g of sodium hydrogen sulfite is reacted with excess HCl, what mass of SO2 is produced? 

(c) If the gas generated is in a 100-mL vessel at 25°C, and 0.05 mol of O2 is introduced, equilibrium between SO2, O2, and SO3 will be established.

SO + OSO K= 2.6 X 102


Calculate the equilibrium concentration of each species.
