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

question 47

Short Answer

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