Nitrous acid has a Ka of 4.0 * 10-4. in 1.00 L of solution, 0.670 moles of nitrous acid (HNO2) are added to 0.281 moles of NaOH. What is the final pH?
HNO2 + NaOH ---------> NaNO2 + H2O
I 0.67 0.281 0
C -0.281 -0.281 0.281
E 0.389 0 0.281
Pka = -logKa
= -log4*10-4
= 3.3979
PH = Pka + log[NaNO2]/[HNO2]
= 3.3979 + log0.281/0.389
= 3.3979-0.1412 = 3.2567
