X Y Na O Mg S Al Cl Al O

Explanation / Answer

1) Bi carbonate ion

Reason: Its Ka value is very less, The value indicates the Acid strength.

2) NaF

Reason: NaOH + HF ---------> NaF + H2O

NaOH is the strong base and the HF is the strong acid, The salt from strong acid-strong base is the Neutral.

3) PH = Pka + log [salt]/[Acid]

Ka = 4.46 x10-4

Pka = -log10Ka

Pka = -log10 [ 4.46 x 10-4]

Pka = 4 - log 4.46

Pka = 4 - 0.6493

Pka = 3.3507

PH = Pka + log [salt]/[Acid]

salt (sodium nitrite) concentration = 0.3M

Acid (Nitrous acid) concentration = 0.6 M

PH = 3.3507 + log [0.3] / [0.6]

PH = 3.3507 + log 0.5

PH = 3.3507 - 0.301

PH = 3.0497
