The SO2 present in air is mainly responsible for the acid rain phenomenon. The amount of this gas in the air can be determined by its reaction with a permanganate solution of known concentration. SO2(g) + KMnO4(aq) + H2O(1) K2SO4(aq) + MnSO4(aq) + H2SO4(aq) Balance the equation above in acidic conditions. Calculate the percent content of SO2 in a 47.2 Kg-sample of air if 7.37 mL of 0.00800 M KMnO4 solution are required for its neutralization. (Ans.: 0.0000200% SO2) KMnO4(aq), K2SO4(aq), MnSO4(aq) exist in dissociated form, while SO2(g) does not dissociate in solution.
