An aqueous solution of phosphoric acid and sodium nitrite is prepared and the following equilibrium is established.
H3PO4(aq) + NO2-(aq) ↔ H2PO4-(aq) + HNO2(aq)
The equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is greater than one. Which of the following statements is correct?
Phosphoric acid is a weaker acid than nitrous acid.
Nitrous acid is a weaker acid than water.
The nitrite anion is a weaker base than the dihydrogen phosphate anion.
The dihydrogen phosphate anion is a stronger acid than nitrous acid.
Phosphoric acid is a stronger acid than nitrous acid.

Kc>1 than equation shift to right
because the conjugate H3PO4/H2PO4- and NO2-/HNo2
look at strength aicd and base so H3PO4>HNO2
