Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is

4.26 %

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is  4.50  ×  10 ⁻⁴.

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.249 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 4.50  ×  10 ⁻⁴

Step 2: Write the ionization reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of nitrite in the equilibrium ([A⁻])

We will use the following expression.

Step 4: Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid

We will use the following expression.
