<span>The best choice is hypochlorous acid nitrous acid (HNO2) because it has the nearest value of pK to the desired pH.
pKa of </span>nitrous acid<span> is 3.34 
If we know pKa and pH values,  we can calculate the required ratio of conjugate base (NO2⁻) to acid (HNO2) from the following equation:
pH=pKa + log(conc. of base)/( conc. of acid)
</span><span>3.19=3.34 + log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
</span><span>3.19 - 3.34 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
-0.15 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2) = 10⁰¹⁵ = 1.41

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.

Explanation:

The CO appears twice hence in he intermediate reaction it only forms path of the enabling reagents and it further reacts to form the final product. Accounting for the CO in the intermediate reaction that undergoes further reaction will impact on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
