A 0.100 M solution of nitrous acid has a PH ==2.10 . Determine the value of the ionization constant for nitrous acid . Determine the present ionization for this acid.

Solutions

Expert Solution

PH   = 2.1

-log[H^+]   = 2.1

      [H^+]   = 10^-2.1   = 0.00794M

at equilibrium [H^+]   = [NO2^-]   = 0.00794M

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

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

                           = 0.00794*0.00794/0.1

                            = 0.00063   = 6.3*10^-4

percent ionization of acid   = final conc of H^+ *1000/initial conc of acid

                                           = 0.00794*100/0.1   = 7.94% >>>>answer
