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
The very common mineral shown in the figure that is referred in this problem that is commonly a pink- to cream-colored mineral with wavy, light-colored lines and does not effervesce would be feldspar. It make up about 41 percent weight of the Earth's crust. It is a group of rocks that contains tectosilicate compounds.

Sorry if that was useless, I'm not sure how generalized you were being
The concentration of hydrogen can be shown as:
[H+ ] = 3 * 10-5 M
pH can be determined as:
pH = - log [H+ ]
= - log (3 * 10-5)
= 4.53
Thus the pH of solution is 4.53
