The pK, value for HC1O is 7.46. Would a buffer prepared from HC10 and NaClO with a pH of 5.66 be considered to be an effective buffer?
A buffer in which the mole ratio of NaClO to HCIO is 0.50 has a pH of 7.16. Would this buffer solution have a greater capacity for added acid (H3 O*) or added base (OH)?
