Help please chemistry question

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $K_{a} = \frac{[\text{H}^{+}][\text{NO}_{2}^{-}]}{[\text{HNO}_{2}]}$

Explanation:

The general form of an equilibrium constant expression is

$K = \frac{[\text{Products}]}{[\text{Reactants}]}$

In the equilibrium

HNO₂ ⇌ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

The products are H⁺ and NO₂⁻, and the reactant is HNO₂.

∴ $K_{a} = \frac{[\text{H}^{+}][\text{NO}_{2}^{-}]}{[\text{HNO}_{2}]}$
