Response to Comments on "Reactions at Interfaces as a Source of Sulfate Formation in Sea-Salt Particles"

Abstract

Our paper (1) demonstrated that the oxidation of chloride at the interface will be a new source of alkalinity that can modulate the acidification of particles during the day when gaseous OH is present. We proposed that this modulation of the acidity of sea-salt particles could potentially affect the rate of uptake and oxidation of SO2 [S(IV)], which is very sensitive to pH.
