Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is the active ingredient in household bleach. HClO has a Ka of 4.0 x 10-8 . You are titrating 30.0 mL of 0.10 M NaClO solution using 0.30 M HCl solution.
1) What is the pKa of HClO and the Kb of ClO- ?
2)What volume of the HCl solution (in mL) needs to be added to reach the equivalence point in this titration experiment? Show your work.
3)What volume of the HCl solution (in mL) needs to be added to adjust the pH of the starting solution to 7.40?
4) At the equivalence point, would you predict the pH to be acidic, basic, or neutral? What is the exact pH of this solution at the equivalence point? Express your answer to two decimal places. Show your work
