Equal volumes of 0.404 M
aqueous solutions of nitrous acid
(HNO2(aq)) Ka= 4.5 × 10-4and
sodium acetate
(NaCH3COO) Kb = 5.6 x 10^-10 are
mixed.
(1) Write the net ionic equation for the overall reaction that
takes place as the system comes to equilibrium.
Write acetic acid, benzoic acid or formic acid and their
conjugates in the form RCOOH / RCOO-. For example,
benzoic acid should be written "C6H5COOH" NOT
"C6H5CO2H". It is not necessary to
include states such as (aq).
(2) What is the value of the equilibrium constant for this
reaction?
(3) What is the pH of the resulting solution?
Use the Tables link on the toolbar for any
equilibrium constants that are required
.
Ans:) If there is any doubt please ask in the comment section.
