Answer:
a) Ka= 7.1 × 10⁻⁴; This is a weak acid because the acid is not completely dissociated in solution.
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the dissociation reaction for nitrous acid
HNO₂(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) and NO₂⁻(aq)
Step 2: Calculate the acid dissociation constant
Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]
Ka = 0.022 × 0.022 / 0.68
Ka = 7.1 × 10⁻⁴
Step 3: Determine the strength of the acid
Since Ka is very small, nitrous acid is a weak acid, not completely dissociated in solution.
There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic orcovalent. By definition, an ionicbond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals.
