Explanation of Solution

The first protonation equilibrium is given below,

  SO32(aq)+H2O(l)OH(aq)+HSO3(aq)

The expression for equilibrium constant for the first protonation reaction can be written as shown below,

  Kb1=[OH][HSO3][SO32]=KwKa2=1.0×10141.2×107=8.3×10-8

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)SO32H2OOHHSO3Initialconcentration0.17000Changeinconcentrationx+x+xEquilibriumconcentration0.170xxx

Now, these values in the fourth row can be inserted in the equilibrium constant expression as shown below.

  Kb1=(x)(x)(0.170x)

Now, the above expression can be solved for x.

  Kb1=(x)(x)(0.170x)8.3×108=(x)(x)(0.170x)(8.3×108)(0.170)=x2[Assumingx0.170]x=1.2×10-4[OH]=x=1.2×10-4M[HSO3]=x=1.2×10-4M[SO32]=0.170x0.170M

The second protonation reaction is given below,

  HSO3(aq)+H2O(l)OH(aq)+H2SO3(aq)

The expression for equilibrium constant for the second protonation reaction can be written as shown below,

  Kb2=[OH][HSO3][HSO3]=KwKa1=1.0×10141.5×102=6.7×10-13

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)HSO3H2OOHH2SO3Initialconcentration1.2×1041.2×1040Changeinconcentrationx+x+xEquilibriumconcentration1.2×104x1.2×104+xx

Now, these values in the fourth row can be inserted in the equilibrium constant expression as shown below.

  Kb2=(x)(1.2×104+x)(1.2×104x)

Now, the above expression can be solved for x.

  Kb2=(x)(1.2×104+x)(1.2×104x)6.7×1013=(1.2×104)(x)(1.2×104)[Assumingx1.2×104]x=6.7×10-13[OH]=1.2×104+x1.2×10-4M[H2SO3]=x=6.7×10-13M

The concentration of H3O+ can be calculated as given below.

  [H3O+]=Kw[OH]=1.0×10141.2×104=8.3×10-11M

Therefore, the molar concentrations of H2SO3,HSO3,SO32,H3O+,andOH in 0.170MNa2SO3(aq) can be summarized as follows, in order of decreasing concentration:

  Species:SO32OHHSO3H3O+H2SO3Concentration(M)0.1701.2×1041.2×1048.3×10116.7×1013
