Answer:
Increase
Explanation:
According to Gay-Lussac Law,
The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.
Mathematical relationship:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
If the initial temperature and pressure is standard,
Pressure = 1 atm
Temperature = 273.15 K
then we increase the temperature to 400.0 K, The pressure will be,
1 atm / 273.15 K = P₂/400.0K
P₂ = 1 atm × 400.0 K / 273.15 K
P₂ = 400.0 atm. K /273.15 K
P₂ = 1.46 atm
Pressure is also increase from 1 atm to 1.46 atm.
<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
