no of moles of HNO2 = molarity * volume in L

                                   = 0.3786*0.04763 = 0.018 moles

no of moles of NaOH = molarity * volume in L

                                  = 0.3786*0.04763 = 0.018moles

           molarity of NO2-1   = no of moles/total volume In L

                                        = 0.018/0.04763 + 0.04763

                                       = 0.018/0.09526 = 0.188M

           NO2- + H2O --------> HNO2 + OH-

I                      0.188                          0            0

C                    -x                             +x              +x

E                 0.188-x                       +x              +x

       Kb   = Kw/Ka

             = 10-14 /4.5*10-4     = 2.2*10-11

Kb   = [HNO2][OH-]/[NO2-]

2.2*10-11   = x*x/0.188-x

2.2*10-11 *(0.188-x) = x2

x = 2.034*10-6

[OH-] = x= 2.034*10-6 M

POH = -log[OH-]

         = -log2.034*10-6

         = -log0.000002034

         = 5.6916

PH   = 14-POH

       = 14-5.6916 = 8.3084 >>>>answer
