Interpretation:
The concentration of sodium hydroxide has to be determined using the given data.
Concept introduction:
Molarity is defined as strength of substance in terms of amount of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of solution.
The molarity of HNO2 and NaOH

Answer to Problem 17.72QP
The concentration of sodium hydroxide is 1.28M
Explanation of Solution
Given,
Strength of HNO2 is 2.00M
HNO2(aq) → H+(aq) + NO2-(aq) Initial concentration(M): 2.00 0 0 Change in concentration(M): -x +x +x Equilibrium concentration(M): 2.00-x x x Ka = [H+][NO-2][HNO2] 4.5 × 10-4 = x22.00 - x ≈ x22.00 x = [H+] = 0.030M pH = -log(0.030) = 1.52
The pH after addition of sodium hydroxide is 1.5 times greater
pH=1.52+1.50=3.02 [H+]= 10-pH = 10-3.02 = 9.55 × 10-4MAfter addition of NaOH, 2.00M HNO2 get diluted MiVi = MfVf (2.00M)(400 mL) = Mf(600 mL) Mf = 1.33M
The pH of nitrous acid is calculated using acid dissociation constant (Ka). From the pH, the molarity of nitrous acid after addition of sodium hydroxide is calculated.
Now we have buffer solution and not reached the equivalence point.
HNO2(aq)+NaOH(aq) → NaNO2(aq)+H2O(l)
Because the nitrous acid and sodium hydroxide are in same ratio, the reduction in concentration of nitrous acid is same as sodium hydroxide.
HNO2(aq) → H+(aq) + NO2-(aq) Initial concentration(M): 1.33 0 0 Change in concentration(M): -x +x Equilibrium concentration(M): 1.33-x 9.55×10-4 x Ka = [H+][NO-2][HNO2] 4.5 × 10-4 = (9.55 × 10-4)(x)1.33 - x x = 0.426M
After dilution to 600mL the concentration of sodium hydroxide is same as decrease in concentration of nitrous acid. The concentration of NaOH has to calculate for 600mL
MiVi = MfVfMi(200 mL) = (0.426M)(600 mL) [NaOH] = Mi = 1.28M
The concentration of nitrous acid is calculated using acid dissociation constant expression. After dilution to 600mL the concentration of sodium hydroxide is same as decrease in concentration of nitrous acid. The concentration of NaOH is calculated for 600mL
The concentration of sodium hydroxide was determined using the given data.
