Abstract
Infinite dilution activity coefficients of sulfur dioxide in various organic solvents were correlated with two basicity scales: the solvent Gutmann donor number and Arnett heat of hydrogen bonding. Linear correlations were observed for both basicity scales, and the accuracy of activity coefficient prediction is estimated to be ±20 to 25%. Infinite dilution activity coefficients of sulfur dioxide in over 80 organic solvents were estimated from the correlations.
