Question
**Determining Equilibrium in Acid Reactions**

The \( K_a \) value for chlorous acid (\( \text{HClO}_2 \)) is \( 1.1 \times 10^{-2} \), while the \( K_a \) for nitrous acid (\( \text{HNO}_2 \)) is \( 4.6 \times 10^{-4} \). Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction of \(\text{HClO}_2\) with \( \text{NO}_2^{-} \). Predict whether the reaction equilibrium favors reactants or products.

Consider the equilibrium system described by the chemical reaction below:

\[
\text{HClO}_2(\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_3\text{O}^+(\text{aq}) + \text{ClO}_2^{-}(\text{aq})
\]

**Visualization of Equilibrium Favorability**

[The visual bar illustration indicates a midpoint (1) at the center, showing balance in equilibrium status.]

**Setting the Equilibrium Expression:**

Set up an expression for the \( K_a \) of chlorous acid (\(\text{HClO}_2\)) in water. Do not combine or simplify terms.

\[
K_a = \frac{\text{[H}_3\text{O}^+][\text{ClO}_2^-]}{[\text{HClO}_2]} = 1.1 \times 10^{-2}
\]

**Interactive Elements:**

Below the problem, selectors for various constants and concentrations allow for interactive setup of the \( K_a \) expression. Values to choose include:

- \( 1.1 \times 10^{-2} \)
- \( 4.6 \times 10^{-4} \)
- \([\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]\)
- \([\text{ClO}_2^-]\)
- \([\text{HClO}_2]\)
- \([\text{H}_2\text{O}]\)
- \([\text{H}_3\text{O}^+]^2\)
- \([\text{ClO}_2^-]^2\)
- \([\text{HClO}_
