A solution of sodium chlorite is prepared using 0.38 mol L NaOH as the solvent. The pK, of chlorous acid is 2. The concentration of sodium chlorite after mixing, before any reaction takes place is 0.24 mol L. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all acid species: [HCIO2), [102], the pH and the pOH in the solution. Some assumptions may not work, on the other hand, if you do not make the correct assumptions first, the quadratic formula will give you the wrong answer. [HCIO2 ] - mol L. [CLO2" ] - mol L1, pH = + pОН
