Estimate the degree of dissociation of a 0.200 m solution of nitrous acid (K a = 4.00

Question:

Estimate the degree of dissociation of a 0.200 m solution of nitrous acid (Ka = 4.00 × 10–4) that is also 0.500 m in the strong electrolyte given in parts (a)–(c). Use the data tables to obtain γ ± , as the electrolyte concentration is too high to use the Debye–Hückel limiting law.

a. BaCl2 

b. KOH 

c. AgNO3

Compare your results with the degree of dissociation of the acid assuming γ ± = 1.
