The hypochlorite ion (OCl-) is a strong oxidizing agent often found in household bleaches and disinfectants. It is also the active ingredient that forms when swimming pool water is treated with chlorine. In addition to its oxidizing abilities, the hypochlorite ion has a relatively high affinity for protons (it is a much stronger base than Cl-, for example) and forms the weakly acidic hypochlorous acid (HOCl, Ka = 3.5 x 10-8). Calculate the pH of a 0.100 M aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid.

1.) Calculate to four significant figures: a) the mass change in kg b) the energy change in kJ/mol, when a neutron decays to produce a proton and an electron. The neutron, proton & electron masses are 1.67493 × 10-27 kg, 1.67262 × 10-27 kg and 9.10939 × 10-31 kg, respectively. 2.) A chemical reaction of the general type: A → 2B is first-order, with a rate constant of 1.52 × 10-4 s-1. a) Calculate the half-life of A. b) Assuming...
The chlorine solution you pour into the water in a swimming pool breaks down into many different chemicals, the important ones being hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and its conjugate base, the hypochlorite ion (OCl- ). (Ka hypochlorous acid = 3.0 x 10-8 ). A. what is the pKa of the acid? B. The ideal pH for the pool is 7.4. What is the ratio of OCL- to HOCl needed to maintain the swimming pool at a pH of 7.4? C. what...
