How much SO2 is needed to saturate 50g of H2O at 5 degrees Celsius

There aren't very many people in this world, including me, that has all of the solubility tables memorized for the thousands of known compounds. Surely you have a graph, a table, or some data from which to read/calculate the solubility. As it is I can't do anything without more information.

Well, let's do a little math and chemistry to figure that out. But before we begin, let me just say that sulfur is quite the needy element. It always wants to bond with oxygen (O) and cause a ruckus!

To find out how much sulfur dioxide (SO2) is needed to saturate 50g of water (H2O) at 5 degrees Celsius, we need to consider a few things. First, we need to know the solubility of SO2 in water at that temperature.

At 5 degrees Celsius, the solubility of SO2 in water is about 0.089 g/100 g of water. That means for every 100 grams of water, 0.089 grams of SO2 can dissolve.

Now, we can set up a proportion to find out how much SO2 is needed to saturate 50g of water:

(0.089 g SO2 / 100 g H2O) = (x g SO2 / 50 g H2O)

Cross-multiplying, we get:

0.089 g SO2 * 50 g H2O = x g SO2 * 100 g H2O

Simplifying:

4.45 g SO2 = x g SO2

So, around 4.45 grams of SO2 would be needed to saturate 50 grams of water at 5 degrees Celsius.

To determine the amount of SO2 needed to saturate 50g of H2O at 5 degrees Celsius, we need to take into consideration the solubility of SO2 at that temperature.

According to the solubility data, at 5 degrees Celsius, the solubility of SO2 in water is approximately 0.127 g/100g of water. This means that 100g of water can dissolve 0.127g of SO2 at that temperature.

To find out how much SO2 is needed to saturate 50g of water, we can set up a proportion:

(0.127 g SO2 / 100g H2O) = (x g SO2 / 50g H2O)

To solve for x (the amount of SO2 required), we can cross-multiply:

0.127 g SO2 * 50g H2O = 100g H2O * x g SO2
6.35 g SO2 = 100g H2O * x g SO2

Dividing both sides of the equation by 100g H2O, we get:

6.35 g SO2 / 100g H2O = x g SO2

Therefore, approximately 0.064 g of SO2 is needed to saturate 50g of H2O at 5 degrees Celsius.

To determine how much SO2 is needed to saturate 50g of H2O at 5 degrees Celsius, we need to analyze the solubility of SO2 in water at that specific temperature. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is typically given in terms of moles of gas dissolved per liter of solvent.

Here are the steps to find the answer:

Step 1: Determine the solubility of SO2 at 5 degrees Celsius.
- Look up the solubility of SO2 in water at 5 degrees Celsius. It is important to note that the solubility of gases generally decreases as temperature decreases.
- Let's assume that the solubility of SO2 in water at 5 degrees Celsius is 0.04 mol/L.

Step 2: Calculate the amount of SO2 needed to saturate 1 liter of water.
- Since the solubility given is in moles per liter, we know that 1 liter of water can dissolve 0.04 moles of SO2.

Step 3: Convert the amount of SO2 needed for 1 liter of water to grams.
- The molar mass of SO2 is approximately 64 grams/mol.
- Therefore, 0.04 moles of SO2 is equal to 0.04 moles * 64 g/mol = 2.56 grams of SO2.

Step 4: Calculate the amount of SO2 needed for 50g of water.
- Since we know the amount of SO2 needed to saturate 1 liter of water, we can use a proportion to calculate the amount needed for 50g.
- Set up a proportion: (2.56 g SO2) / (1 L H2O) = (x g SO2) / (50 g H2O).
- Cross multiply and solve for x:
x g SO2 = (2.56 g SO2 * 50 g H2O) / 1 g H2O.
x g SO2 = 128 g SO2.

So, approximately 128 grams of SO2 are needed to saturate 50g of H2O at 5 degrees Celsius.
