Abstract

The solubility of HCl in aqueous sulphuric acid has been calculated using a Pitzer multicomponent thermodynamic model to 190K. The results suggest that at low temperatures the HCl content of the background stratospheric aerosol may be as high as 4 molal, greater than had been previously thought. This implies that aqueous stratospheric aerosols may be a site for the production of reactive chlorine during the polar winter. © 1992.
