Is HNO2 a base acid or solid?

HNO2 is nitrous acid, a weak acid.


What does it mean if an acid or base is ''weak''?

it means that the acid or the base doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water. Let's take a weak acid. HNO2. When placed in water, not all of the HNO2 molecules will break apart. The ions in the solution will be H+, NO2-, and HNO2. Because there are less ions in the solution, the acid/base is weak. Not all of the HNO2 will break apart! A strong acid will completely dissociate. That means if you place HCl in water, the ions will be H+, and Cl-, NO HCl. This is because once they break apart, the chlorine will stay apart from the hydrogen. This leaves many ions in the solution, making the acid/base strong.

Is nitrous acid strong?

No HNO2 is a weak acid (pKa = 3.33)


Is HNO2 ionic or molecular?

Nitrous acid HNO2 cannot be isolated as a pure compound. In the gas phase molecules of HNO2 are covalently bonded. In water it is a weak acid forming the nitrite ion however it readily disproportionates:- 3HNO2 -> H3O+ + NO3- + NO


What is the conjugate acid of NO2-?

HNO2 conjugate acid = one more hydrogen conjugate base = one less hydrogen
