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

nydimaria [60]
To calculate the amount of heat transferred when an amount of reactant is decomposed, we must look at the balanced reaction and its corresponding heat of reaction. In this case, we can see that 252.8 kJ of heat is transferred per 2 moles of CH3OH used. When 22 g of CH3OH is used, 86.9 kJ is absorbed.

LuckyWell [14K]
There are no states in the picture, but Na should have a "(s)" after it, and Cl2 should have a "(g)" after it. NaCl should have an "(s)". Chlorine is a diatomic element so it has a "2" subscript on it. 

Hope this helped! :)
