Nitrous acid<span> dissociates as follows:
</span>
HNO₂(s) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) 
           
According to the equation, an acid constant has the following form:

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻ ] / [HNO₂] 

From pH, we can calculate the concentration of H⁺ and NO₂⁻:

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.63 = 0.00234 M = [NO₂⁻]

Now, the acid constant can be calculated:

Ka = 0.00234 x 0.00234 / 0.015  = 3.66 x 10⁻⁴

And finally,

pKa = -log Ka = 3.44

C. What is oxidized in the reaction? What is reduced? (2 points)
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Oxidation: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are lost.

Oxidation State / Number: a number assigned to an atom describing its degree of oxidation, meaning how many electrons it has gained or lost.

Reduction: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are gained.

Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: a chemical reaction where oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously

Explanation:

Reduction always occurs at cathode

Oxidation always occurs in anode

These two process occurs in same way independent of nature of cell whether voltaic or electrolytic.

5. Which of the following has variable composition<br>A. Water<br>B. sugar<br>C, soil<br>D. Salt​
erica [24]

Answer:

C. Soil

Explanation:

The choice with variable composition is the soil. Soil have many different composition.

  • Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter , water and soil air.
  • Soil minerals are derived from weathered bedrock materials that have been broken down into small pieces.
  • Organic matter is derived from dead and decaying materials from plants and animals.
  • All these materials combine together to form a soil.

Why are isotopes with short half-lives not useful for dating very old rocks?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes within these brains typically record the ages of the grains-not the time when the sedimentary rock was formed, making it difficult to date using radiometric dating. The half-life of U-235 is 704 million years.

Explanation:

hope this helps but if i'm wrong then i'm sorry..
