Cloud chemistry on Venus: Sulfuric acid reactions and supercooling in Venus liquid cloud droplets

Baines, K. H.; Delitsky, M. L.

Cloud particles on Venus consist of liquid droplets of aqueous sulfuric acid solutions (H₂SO₄/H₂O) that are the site of chemical reactions arising from uptake (absorption) of surrounding gas molecules into the droplets and subsequent solution chemistry. The Henry's Law constant, H*, for HCl in sulfuric acid in wate…
