I need to how to find the concentration of NaNO2 that is necessary to buffer .05 M HNO2. (Ka= 4x10^-4) at pH=3.00.
I was thinking that i need to find the conentration of H ions but idk what to do after that.

pKa = - log Ka = 3.40
The Hasselbalch's equation is :
pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

3.00 = 3.40 + log [NO2-] / 0.05

- 0.40 = log [NO2-] / 0.05

10^-0.40 = [NO2-] / 0.06
0.398 = [NO2-] / 0.06

[NO2-] = 0.0239 M
