Question

Given the following information:


(1) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.278 M aqueous nitrous acid andsodium acetate are mixed. It is not necessary to include states such as (aq) or (s).

______+_______------->_______+________

(2) At equilibrium the ________ will be favored.

A. reactants

B. products

(3) The pH of the resulting solution will be_______seven.

A. greater than

B. equal to

C. less than

nitrous acid HNO2 Ka = 4.5×10-4 acetic acid CH3COOH Ka = 1.8×10-5

Explanation / Answer

1) net ionic equation:

HNO2 + CH3COO-   -------------------> CH3COOH + NO2-

2)

equilibrium favoured   : B. products

because HNO2 , Ka value is higher than acetic acid Ka value . so HNO2 is stronger acid and it can donate proton

3)

pH will more than 7
