The Equilibrium Constant for the Reaction
HNO₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) $\rightarrow$ NO₂-(aq)+ H₃O⁺(aq)
Is 4

question 44

Short Answer

The equilibrium constant for the reaction
HNO₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) $\rightarrow$ NO₂-(aq)+ H₃O⁺(aq)
is 4.3 * 10^-4 at 25 ^$\omicron$ C.Will nitrous acid spontaneously dissociate when
[HNO₂(aq)] = 1.0 M and [NO₂-(aq)] = [H₃O⁺(aq)] = 1.0 * 10^-5 M?

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense is the allocated portion of the cost of a tangible asset that is expensed over its useful life, reflecting wear and tear, obsolescence, or loss of value.

Double-Declining-Balance

A method of accelerated depreciation which doubles the normal depreciation rate, reducing the value of an asset more quickly in its early years.

Accelerated Depreciation

A depreciation method that allows faster write-off of assets in the initial years of asset life.

Accumulated Depreciation

The total depreciation for a fixed asset that has been charged to expense since the asset was acquired and put into use.
