The kinetics of oxygen exchange between the sulfite ion and water

Abstract
Oxygen of mass 18 was used as a stable tracer to measure the rate of exchange between the sulfite ion and water as a function of pH and total sulfite concentration. A value for the rate constant of hydration of SO2 in aqueous solution was determined. The gross rate constants k1 and k−1 for the overall reaction[Formula: see text]at 24.7 °C and ionic strength = 0.9 were evaluated from exchange results to be [Formula: see text]Also, for the first time, rate constants for the pyrosulfite equilibrium[Formula: see text]Were obtained[Formula: see text]at 24.7 °C and ionic strength = 0.9
