Assume that the partial pressure of sulfur dioxide,  PSO2PSO2, is equal to the partial pressure of dihydrogen sulfide,  PH2SPH2S, and therefore PSO2=PH2SPSO2=PH2S. If the vapor pressure of water is 24 torrtorr , calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of SO2SO2  (PSO2PSO2) in the system at 298 KK.
Express the pressure in atmospheres to two significant figures.
