What is the ka of a 2.5 x 10^-2 m solution of nitrous acid (hno2) with a ph of 4.27?

Kₐ = 1.2 × 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate [H₃O⁺]

2. Calculate Kₐ

                        HNO₂ + H₂O ⇌   H₃O⁺    +      NO₂⁻

I/mol·L⁻¹:          0.025                     0                  0

C/mol·L⁻¹: 0.025-5.4 × 10⁻⁵   +5.4 × 10⁻⁵   +5.4 × 10⁻⁵

E/mol·L⁻¹:         0.025              5.4 × 10⁻⁵     5.4 × 10⁻⁵

So, at equilibrium,

[H₃O⁺] = [NO₂⁻] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁵ mol·L⁻¹

[HF] = 0.025 mol·L⁻¹

Kₐ = {[H₃O⁺][NO₂⁻]}/[HNO₂

Kₐ = (5.4 × 10⁻⁵ × 5.4 × 10⁻⁵)/0.025

Kₐ = 2.9 × 10⁻⁹/0.025

Kₐ = 1.2 × 10⁻⁷

The acid is not nitrous acid, because the Kₐ of HNO₂ is 7.2 × 10⁻⁴

i believe the answer is c. "baking" is the gerund, while "baking blueberry muffins" would be the gerund phrase. hope this ! : )

metric time was an attempt to create a standard unit of time based off of 10, but it never took off an is not included in the metric system (si)
