Question
The values of Ka for hydrozoic acid (HN3) and hypobromous acid (HBrO) are given below.
HN3 Ka = 1.9 × 10-5
HBrO Ka = 2.0 × 10-9
If we mix 0.50 mol HN3 and 0.50 mol NaBrO into a 1-L aqueous solution, which of the following statements is correct concerning the final solution at equilibrium after mixing? Choose one option only.
 
Options:
a. The pH of the final solution is less than 7 because Ka (HN3) < Kb( BrO- ).
b. The pH of the final solution is greater than 7 because Ka (HN3) > Kb(BrO-).
c. The pH of the final solution is equal to 7 because the neutralization reaction between HN3 and NaBrO.
d. The pH of the final solution is less than 7 because Ka (HN3) > Kb( BrO- ).
e. The pH of the final solution is greater than 7 because Ka (HN3) < Kb( BrO- ).
