Question:
$\text{The ionization constant of nitrous acid is } 4.5 \times 10^{-4}. \text{ The pH of a } 0.04 \text{ M sodium nitrite solution will be:}$
Options:
  • 1. $2.56$
  • 2. $6.14$
  • 3. $7.96$
  • 4. $11.74$
Solution:
Hint: NaNO2 is the salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (HNO2) Explanation: Step 1: Calculate Kh NO2- + H2O ⇌ HNO2 + OH- Kh = [HNO2][OH-] / [NO2-] Kh = Kw / Ka = (10^-14) / (4.5 × 10^-4) = 2.22 × 10^-11 Step 2: Calculate [OH-] using Kh If x moles undergo hydrolysis: [NO2-] = 0.04 - x ≈ 0.04 [HNO2] = x, [OH-] = x Kh = x^2 / 0.04 = 2.22 × 10^-11 x = [OH-] = 9.43 × 10^-7 M Step 3: Calculate pH [H+] = 10^-14 / (9.43 × 10^-7) = 1.06 × 10^-8 M pH = -log[H+] = 7.97
