Question

In the following equation HNO2 (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ H3O+ (aq) + NO2-(aq), 0.37 M of nitrous acid was found in the resulting aqueous solution. Which of the following expression is correct regarding the equilibrium molar concentration of the reactants and products?

   

HNO2 = 0.37-x; H2O = 0.37-x; H3O+ = 0.37+x , NO2- = 0.37+x

   

HNO2 = 0.37+x; H2O = 0.37+x; H3O+ = 0.37-x , NO2- = 0.37-x

   

HNO2 = 0.37-x; H3O+ = 0.37+x , NO2- = 0.37+x

   

HNO2 = 0.37-x; H3O+ = +x , NO2- = +x
