According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,
pH = pKa + log [Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid]
As, Ka of Nitric Acid = 7.1 × 10⁻⁴
So,
pKa = -log [ 7.1 × 10⁻⁴ ]
pKa = 3.148
So, pH = 3.148 + log [Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid]
3.90 = 3.148 + log [Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid]
3.90 - 3.148 = log [Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid]
0.752 = log [Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid]
Taking Antilog on both sides,
[Nitrate] / [Nitric Acid] = 5.64
The first one is abundant
It has a higher boiling point and a lower freezing point
Answer:
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or nitrous, is a chemical compound, an oxide of nitrogen with the formula N ₂O. At room temperature, it is a colourless non-flammable gas, with a slight metallic scent and taste. At elevated temperatures, nitrous oxide is a powerful oxidiser similar to molecular oxygen.

Sedimentary rock would not form
