Answer:
We write 50,000 in scientific notation,
it is written as 5 x 10⁴.
Hope it helps.
It should be 0.25 M. Use the formula C1*V1=C2*V2, for those values, as it is right when it changed colour. Remember to change the if those are not the same (but in your case it is, so no need this time).
C1*V1=C2*V2
C1*27ml=0.55M*12.5ml
C1=(0.55M*12.5ml)/27ml = 0.25M
Nitrous acid<span> dissociates as follows:

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
