Nomograph for the Solubility of Sulfur Dioxide in Water

T

HE latest data covering the equilibrium solubilities of

sulfur dioxide appear to be those of Beuschlein and Simensonl, presented in tabular form and graphically as pressure-temperature curves for concentrations of 0.51, 1.09, 4.36, and 7.45 grams of sulfur dioxide per 100 grams of water. A study of the data was made with a view toward facilitating interpolation, and the following equation, connecting pressure and temperature, was developed, p [l - 65

Additional values of a for other values of S were calculated by means of the well-known La Grange interpolation formula, and a large-scale smooth curve was constructed. For all but the lowest values of S, values of b can be calculated from the equation: log b = 1.0106 SO.625

b may be read satisfactorily from a plot of log b us. for coslcentrations below 1.09 grams sulfur dioxide per 100 grams of water. These equations enable construction of the accompanying line coordinate chart which considerably extends the utility of the original data, since it places interpolation on a convenient and reproducible basis and includes solubilities both as grams sulfur dioxide per 100 grams of water and as grams of sulfur dioxide per 100 grams of solution or percentage concentration. The index line shows that a solution of 2.60 grams of sulfur dioxide in 100 grams of water tests 2.44 per cent sulfur 1 Beuschlein, W. L., and Simenson. L. O., J . Am. Chem. SOC.,62, 810 (1940).
