The pH of the buffer solution is 7.30 for 0.172 m in Hypochlorous acid and 0.131 m in Sodium hypochlorite.
<h3>What is a buffer solution?</h3>
A weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid, are mixed together to form a solution called a buffer solution, which is based on water as the solvent. They do not change in pH when diluted or when modest amounts of acid or alkali are added to them. A relatively little amount of a strong acid or strong base has little effect on the pH of buffer solutions. As a result, they are employed to maintain a steady pH.
According to the question:
Ka = 3.8×10⁻⁸
pKa = - log (Ka)
= - log(3.8×10⁻⁸)
= 7.42
pH = pKa + log {[conjugate base]/[acid]}
= 7.42+ log {0.131/0.172}
= 7.302
