Calculate the fraction of nitrous acid deprotonated if the solution concentration is 0.241 M. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is 3.0 x 10^-8.

How do you solve for x?

Solutions

Expert Solution

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

I                  0.241                            0                  0

C                   -x                                +x                 +x

E              0.241-x                             +x                 +x

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

                3*10^-8   = x*x/(0.241-x)

               3*10^-8 *(0.241-x) = x^2

               x^2+3*10^-8x -7.953*10^-8   = 0

x = -b-b^2-4ac/2a          x= -b+b^2-4ac/2a

                x   = 8.5*10^-5

         [H^+]   = x    = 8.5*10^-5 M

the fraction of nitrous acid deprotonated   = [H^+]*100/initial concentration of acid

                                                                    = 8.5*10^-5 *100/0.241 = 0.0353%
