Consider the buffer system of nitrous acid, HNO2, and its salt, NaNO2.

2(aq) + H2O(l) h3O + (aq) + NO2 (aq)

a. The purpose of this buffer system is to:


1. maintain [HNO2 ]


2. maintain [NO2- ]


3. maintain pH


b. The weak acid is needed to:


1. provide the conjugate base


2. neutralize added OH


3. provide the conjugate acid


c. The addition of H3O + is neutralized by:


1. the salt


2. H2O


3. OH


d. When OH is added, the equilibrium shifts in the direction of the:


1.reactants


2. products


3. does not change
