A student makes 100.0 mL of a 0.100 M solution of HNO2.  What mass (in grams) of NaNO should the student add to the solution to make a buffer that buffers at a pH of 4.25. (Hint: use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to find the molarity, then find the number of moles required to achieve that concentration in 100.0 mL of solution.)
