The SO2 present in air is mainly responsible for the phenomenon of acid rain. The concentration of SO2 can be determined by titrating against a standard permanganate solution as follows: 5SO2 + 2MnO4- + 2H2O ---> 5SO42- + 2Ms2 + 4H+ Calculate the number of grams of SO2 in a sample of air if 4.90mL of 0.00700M KMnO4 solution are required for the titration. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
