The bisulfate (or hydrogen sulfate) anion, HSO4 , is a weak acid. The equilibrium constant for the aqueous acid reaction HSO4 (ag) = H* (ag) + SO,2- (ag) is 1.2 x 10-2 (a) Calculate AG° for this equilibrium. Assume a tempera- ture of 25.0°C. (b) At low concentrations, activity coefficients are approxi- mately 1 and the activity of a dissolved solute equals its molality. Determine the equilibrium molalities of a 0.010-molal solution of sodium hydrogen sulfate.
