- The oxidation of HSO3− by O2 in an aqueous solution is a reaction of importance to the processes of acid rain formation and flue gas desulfurization. R.E. Connick et al. (Inorg. Chem. 34, 4543 (1995)) report that the reaction 2 HSO3−(aq) + O2(g) → 2 SO42−(aq) + 2 H+(aq) follows the rate law v = kr[HSO3−]2[O2]2. Given pH = 5.6 and an O2 molar concentration of 0.24 mmol dm−3 (both presumed constant), an initial HSO3− molar concentration of 50 μmol dm−3, and a rate constant of 3.6 × 106 dm9 mol−3 s−1, what is the initial rate of reaction?
