Answer:

\large \boxed{5.15}

Explanation:

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻

1. Calculate pKₐ

\text{p}K_{\text{a}} = -\log \left (K_{\text{a}} \right ) =-\log(1.3 \times 10^{-5}) = 4.89

2. Calculate the pH

We can use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to get the pH.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{pH} & = & \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log \left(\dfrac{[\text{A}^{-}]}{\text{[HA]}}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 +\log \left(\dfrac{0.42}{0.23}\right )\\\\& = & 4.89 + \log1.83 \\& = & 4.89 +0.261\\& = & 5.15\\\end{array}\\\text{The pH of the buffer is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{5.15}}$}

What is the ionic form of this unbalanced equation? mno2 + hno2 → mn(no3)2 + h2o?
KATRIN_1 [288]
The  ionic  form  of  the unbalanced  equation

MnO2  +HNO2 =  Mn(NO3)2  +H2O  is  as   below

MnO2(s)   +  H^+(aq)  + NO2^-(aq) = Mn^2+(aq)  + No3^-(aq)  +  H20(l)

MnO2   does  not  dissociate  since it is  in solid state. In   addition H2O   is in liquid  state  thus  does  not  dissociate in to  ions
