Answer:

The ratio (NO2-)/(HNO2) is 2.094

Explanation:

Using H-H equation for nitrite-nitrous acid buffer:

pH = pKa + log [NO2-] / [HNO2]

Where pH is 3.47

pKa is -log Ka = 3.149

3.47 = 3.149 + log [NO2-] / [HNO2]

0.321 = log [NO2-] / [HNO2]

10^0.321 = [NO2-] / [HNO2]

2.094 = [NO2-] / [HNO2]

The ratio (NO2-)/(HNO2) is 2.094
