In a 1.0x10^-4 M solution of HClO(aq), identify the relative molar amounts of these species:HClO, OH-, H3O+, OCl-, H2O

4 answers

  1. ........HClO ==> H^+ + OCl^-
    I.....1.0E-4.....0........0
    C........-x.......x.......x.
    E......1E-4-x.....x.......x

    Ka = (H^+)(OCl^-)/(HClO)
    Substitute and solve for x = (H^+) = (OCl^-). (HClO) = 1.00E-4-x
    You can get OH from
    (H^+)(OH^-) = Kw

  2. Thank You!!!

  3. H2O, HClO, H3O+, OH-, OCl-

  4. most -> least: H20, HClO, H3O+, OCl-, OH-
