    any sulfonyl chloride will react with water to form a sulfonic acid...

    RSO2Cl + H2O ---> RSO2-OH + HCl

    now if there is enough HCl in the solution this may also cleave off the p-acetamino group also...

    CH3CO-NH-Phenyl-SO3H + HCl ---> CH3COOH + H2N-Phenyl-SO3H (would be a secondary reaction and much slower).
