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
Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.
For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances
Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%
Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %
Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =
= 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu
Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average

Explanation:
An electrolytic solution is a solution that has the ability of conducting electricity. Electrolytic solutions contain ions in which it conducts electricity from those ions. Ions are charged atoms. This solution (refer to image) has ions, as represented by the + and - symbols.
Answer: a. The concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values
Explanation:
The reactions which do not go on completion and in which the reactant forms product and the products goes back to the reactants simultaneously are known as equilibrium reactions. For a chemical equilibrium reaction, equilibrium state is achieved when the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to rate of the backward reaction.
Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time and are constant.
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as 
K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.
For a equilibrium reaction,

![K_{eq}=\frac{[B]}{[A]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_%7Beq%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BB%5D%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D)
Thus the correct answer is the concentrations of the reactants and products have reached constant values.
