The active ingredient of bleach such as Clorox is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). Its conjugate acid, hypochlorous acid (HClO), has a Ka of 3.0 × 10–8. (a)The undiluted bleach contains roughly 1 M NaClO. Calculate the pH of 1 M NaClO solution. (b)Some applications require extremely diluted bleach solution, such as swimming pools. Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 10,000 -fold. Calculate the pH of the diluted solution, and demonstrate that you can still neglect the autoionization of water in your calculation. (c)Suppose the solution in (a) is diluted by 1million-fold, briefly explain how your approach will be different. Write the equation with [H3O+] as the unknown, but you do not need to solve it.
When the reversible reaction HC2H;O2 (aq) E> H(aq) + C2H3O2 (aq) is at equilibrium at room temperature, pH of the reaction mixture is 5. What will be the change in pH when you add a large amount of NaOH (aq) to the reaction mixture? a) pH will not change because NaOH is not a part of the reaction equation. b) pH will not change because acetic acid and NaOH form a buffer. c) pH will increase because NaOH will completely neutralize acetic acid. d) pH will decrease because NaOH will completely neutralize acetic acid. In the reversible reaction A (aq) + B(aq) E > C(aq), reactant A is very expensive. What are two ways to get it to react as fully as possible to form as much C as possible? a) remove C as it forms, and use an excess of A b) add another reactant that will form a precipitate with B c) remove C as it forms, and use an excess of B d) add another reactant that will form a precipitate with A
