Constructing the ICE table for acid-dissociation  of sulfurous acid

 H₂SO₃ --> H⁺ + HSO₃⁻

I    0.163 M      0        0

C     - x           + x       + x

E   0.163 - x    + x       + x

Writing the acid dissociation expression  of sulfurous acid,

Kₐ = [H⁺ ][ HSO₃⁻]/ [H₂SO₃]

Plugging in the values we get,

\frac{x²}{(0.163 - x)} = 1.7 x 10⁻²

Since 1.7 x 10⁻² is small we can ignore x in the denominator,

\frac{x²}{0.163}  = 1.7 x 10⁻²

x = 0.052640 M  

pH = 1.28  

Thus the pH of a 0.163 M aqueous solution of sulfurous acid is 1.28.

<span>Given:

acid-dissociation constants of sulfurous acid</span>:

Ka1 = 1.7 * 10^(-2)

Ka2 = 6.4 * 10^(-8) at 25.0 °C. 

aqueous solution of sulfurous acid = 0.163 M

 

x² / (0.163 - x) = 1.7 * 10^(-2) 

You simplify it to:

<span>x² / (0.163) = 1.7  *10^(-2) </span>

x = 0.052640 M 

pH = 1.28 

<span>
So, the pH of a 0.163 M aqueous solution of sulfurous acid is 1.28.</span>

 

To add, aqueous solutions of sulfur dioxide purpose are as disinfectants and reductant, as are solutions of sulfite<span> salts and </span>bisulfite. By accepting another oxygen<span> atom, they are </span>oxidised to sulfuric acid or sulfate.

Methanethiol, CH3SH, has a substantial dipole mement (1.52) even though carbon and sulfer have identical electronegativities. Ex
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The whole molecule is polar because Sulfur has lone pairs but Carbon doesn't. Lone pairs count more toward polarity, shifting dipole toward S.

Explanation:

Even though carbon and sulfur have identical values of electronegativities, the molecule, CH_3SH is polar because of the presence of the lone pairs on the sulfur atom.

The C-S bond is not polar because the both the atoms have electronegatiivty. <u>But S has lone pairs which can attract the bond pairs of the bond between the S and H and thus acquires slightly negative charge and H acquires slightly positive charge.</u>
