<span>The best choice is hypochlorous acid nitrous acid (HNO2) because it has the nearest value of pK to the desired pH.
pKa of </span>nitrous acid<span> is 3.34
If we know pKa and pH values, we can calculate the required ratio of conjugate base (NO2⁻) to acid (HNO2) from the following equation:
pH=pKa + log(conc. of base)/( conc. of acid)
</span><span>3.19=3.34 + log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
</span><span>3.19 - 3.34 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
-0.15 = log c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2)
c(NO2⁻)/c(HNO2) = 10⁰¹⁵ = 1.41

Answer:
Option d. 7
Explanation:
A mixture of a strong base and a strong acid produce a neutral salt and water.
This is the reaction of neutralization:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻
Sodium chloride is neutral salt which does not give H⁻ neither OH⁻ to medium, that's why pH is neutral.
Both ions are derivated from a strong acid and base so they do not make hydrolisis. They are a conjugate pair of a weak acid and base. The reactions can not occur:
Cl⁻ + H₂O ← OH⁻ + HCl
Na⁺ + H₃O⁺ ← NaOH + H₂O
Hey there!
Sulphur is the element which has 6 electrons in the outermost shell.
WhereasCalcium,Neon have 2 and chlorine has 7.
Hope this explanation helps you :)
Have a good day :)
