Gaseous and aqueous phases

There are well over 100 gaseous and aqueous phase reactions that can lead to acid formation and more than fifty oxidizing agents and catalysts may be involved. However, in the simplest terms sulfur in fuels is oxidized to SO2, and SO2 in the atmosphere is further oxidized and hydrolyzed to sulfuric acid. Most nitric acid is formed by the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen gas (N2) to NO. (NO and NO2) during high temperature combustion, followed by further oxidation and hydrolysis that produces nitric acid in the atmosphere. These materials can be dry-... 

The first three equilibria relate the activities of the main aqueous species, the fourth establishes the relationship between gaseous and aqueous phases, and the fifth establishes the relationship between aqueous species and the condensed phase. 

The equilibrium partitioning between the gaseous and aqueous phase is given using the Henry s Law constant, fCH. Although C02(aq) is not intrinsically acidic it can react with water to produce a diprotic acid H2C03, as shown by the reaction below ... 

Clear, unfiltered well water was used for the four tests. The absence of iron and manganese, as well as a degree of oxidizability not exceeding 5 mg. of permanganate per liter, classified it among waters responding to treatment with small quantities of ozone. The temperature of the water was 11° C. At this temperature, the coefficient of distribution of the ozone between the gaseous and aqueous phases is 0.37. 

Assuming that isotopic equilibrium is attained between the gaseous and aqueous phases, the concentration of per m of unsaturated zone (H COs ) is ... 

According to the data in Table 10-10, S02 is converted to H2S04 in both gaseous and aqueous phases at nearly equal rates, although all processes are not necessarily active at the same time. In the gas phase, the total rate is about 0.8%/h, whereas in the liquid phase it should be less than 7%/h. The laboratory data therefore suggest a lifetime of S02 with respect to its conversion to H2S04 of the order of a few days. Let us see whether this prediction is verified by the field observations.

Table I. Equilibrium (a) and kinetic (b) isotopic fractionation factors (a) of importance to nitrogen cycling in lakes (Collister Hayes, 1991). As a first approximation, an a value of, for example, 1.020 implies a difference in of ca. 20%o between the reactant and product. In the case of N2 gas dis.solution, therefore, differs by less than l%o between the gaseous and aqueous phases, whereas gaseous ammonia liberated during ammonia volatilisation will be ca. i4%o lighter than the aqueous ammonia.

Soil is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of solid, gaseous, and aqueous phases, the relative proportions of which can vary both spatially and temporally. The solid matrix consists of an intimate mixture of inorganic (primarily weathering products) and organic (products of biological decomposition) components. The proportion of total soil porosity occupied by water may vary from very low values up to 100% in a fully saturated soil. Soils typically develop a distinctive vertical zonation as a consequence of selective mineral dissolution coupled with...

Phase Behaviour In more general models there can be three or even more phases with mass transfer between phases. For example the black oil model is a three component system of oil, gas and water components separating into three phases oleic, gaseous and aqueous. Gas can move between the oleic, gaseous and aqueous phases. The oleic phase is a mixture of oil and gas, the aqueous phase a mixture of water and gas, and the gaseous phase is just gas.
