Question

Write your answer to each of the following questions, on the blanks at the left. Consider HNO_2 Its conjugate base is _______. HNO_2 is a _______ acid (strong or weak). In the reaction between HNO_2 and HCN: HNO_2 (aq) + CN^- (aq) Equilibrium HCN (aq) + NO_2^- (aq) K = 1 times 10^6. The predominant species after the reaction reaches equilibrium are _______. (Write both species.) When HNO_2 is titrated with NaoH to the equivalence point, the pH of the resulting solution is _______ seven. (greater than, less than, equal to).

Explanation / Answer

1) NO2- is a conjugate base of HNO2

2) Weak acid (as dissociation is less)

3) HCN and NO2- (As the equilibrium constant is greater than 1)

4) Its greater than 7.( because the strength of the base is more than the strength of the acid)
