Solutions

Expert Solution

                HNO2(aq) -------------> H^+ (aq)   + NO2^- (aq)

I                0.036                           0                   0

C               -x                                 +x                 +x

E               0.036-x                          +x                +x

                  Ka    = [H^+][NO2^-]/[HNO2]

                    4.5*10^-4 = x*x/0.036-x

                   4.5*10^-4 *(0.036-x) = x^2

                      x   = 0.0038

                  [H^+]   = x = 0.0038M

                 PH   = -log[H^+]

                          = -log0.0038

                          = 2.42 >>>>answer
