Is HNO2 a base acid or solid?

HNO2 is a weak acid. It can donate a proton in a chemical reaction.


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.


What is the conjugate base of hno2?

The conjugate base of HNO2 is NO2-. When HNO2 loses a proton, it forms its conjugate base, nitrite ion (NO2-).


What is the formula of nitrous acid?

The formula for nitrous acid is HNO2. It is a weak acid that can be formed by the reaction of nitric oxide with water.


Which of the following Bronstead-Lowry acids does not behave as a strong acid when it is dissolved in water HBr Hcl HNO2 HClO4?

HNO2 does not behave as a strong acid when dissolved in water. It is a weak acid, whereas HBr, HCl, and HClO4 are strong acids.


What is the formula for hydronitrous acid?

The formula for hydronitrous acid is HNO2. It is a weak acid that is formed by the combination of nitrous acid with water.


Is nitrous acid strong?

No HNO2 is a weak acid (pKa = 3.33)


Is NO2- a strong or weak base?

The nitrate ion (NO3-) is a so extremely weak base that it will gain no proton at all from water.(That's why HNO3 is a so strong acid that it 'splits' off ALL its protons. in water there is no molecule HNO3 remaining.)


What is the chemical compound HNO2?

HNO2 is nitrous acid. It is not to be confused with nitric acid, which is HNO3


What is the conjugate acid of NO2-?

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


What are the ions present in nitrous acid?

HNO2 => H^(+) & NO2^(-) are the ions present. NOTE Nitrous acid is ' HNO2' ; Nitric Acid is HNO3 .


Which acid has the formula HNO2?

Nitrous acid has the formula HNO2. It is a weak acid that can be formed by dissolving nitrogen dioxide in water. Nitrous acid is known for its role in the nitrosation of amines.
