(a) Write the equation for the dissolution of sulphur dioxide in water. For this problem, assume that no other reaction other than dissolution takes place. Write the expression for the Henry's Law constant (KH) for this reaction. The average atmospheric sulphur dioxide concentration in Delhi, India is 13.4 µg/m³, which is equivalent to 5.11×109 atm. Calculate the concentration of sulphur dioxide dissolved in water in equilibrium with dry Delhi air at 25°C. Hint - you will need to look up the value of KH for sulphur dioxide. (b) (c)

Simple acids such as formic acid, HCOOH, and acetic acid, CH3COOH, are very soluble in water; however, fatty acids such as stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH, and palmitic acid, CH3(CH2)14COOH, are water-insoluble. Based on what you know about the solubility of alcohols, explain the solubility of these organic acids.
Some lithium chloride, LiCl, is dissolved in 100 mL of water in one beaker, and some Li2SO4 is dissolved in 100 mL of water in another beaker. Both are at 10 C, and both are saturated solutions; some solid remains undissolved in each beaker. Describe what you would observe as the temperature is raised. The following data are available to you from a handbook of chemistry:
How would you prepare from the solid and pure water (a) 0.400 L of 0.155 M Sr(OH)2? (b) 1.75 L of 0.333 M (NH4)2CO3?
Maple syrup sap is 3% sugar (sucrose) and 97% water bymass. Maple syrup is produced by heating the sap toevaporate a certain amount of the water. (a) Describe what happens to the composition and boilingpoint of the solution as evaporation takes place. (b) A rule of thumb among maple syrup producers is thatthe finished syrup should boil about 4 C higher than theoriginal sap being boiled. Explain the chemistry behindthis guideline. (c) If the finished product boils 4 C higher than the originalsap, calculate the concentration of sugar in the finalproduct. Assume that sugar is the only solute and theoperation is done at 1 atm pressure.

Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H₂ gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H₂ gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.56 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 197 g of palladium metal. (The density of the resulting solution is 11.7 g/cm³.) (a) Determine the molarity of this solution.
