NaHSO,, and KHSO, from 0. I to I .O mol kg-'. aqueous CO, from 0.01 to 0.10 mol kg-' and aqueous SO, from 0.045 to 2.0 mol kg-'. The contribution of "chemical relaxation" (changes in cquilibrium state and enthalpy due to change in temperature) to thc experimental heat capacitics of aqucous SO, required special attention, leading to the derivation of a new equation for calculating this cffcct. Standard statc valucs for thc heat capacities and volurnes of aqueous CO,, SOz, HCO,.., and H S O , were obtained from the apparent molar properties by extrapolation to infinite dilution. Combining these rcsults with othcr thcrmodynamic data from the literature gave estimates of log K,", the cquilibrium constant for the first neutralization of CO, and SO?, at high temperatures. The results for CO, reproducc very accuratc literature values to within 0.2 at 200°C. The expression for the reaction SO, t O H S HS0,-, log K l h = 22.771 t 2776.0/T -8.058 log T, is consistent with the sparse and limited experimental data.
