Sulfur dioxide dissolved in and reacts with water to give sulfurous acid, but the equilibrium lies to the left and sulfurous acid is unstable. The acid must be trapped as a bisulfite or sulfite salt.
The chemistry is analogous to that of carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, the bicarbonate ion and the carbonate ion.The solution is acidic, pH 1-3.
