pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.
<u>Explanation:</u>
HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,
HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻
We can write the equilibrium expression as,
Ka = ![$\frac{[H^{+}] [ClO^{-}] }{[HClO]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%24%5Cfrac%7B%5BH%5E%7B%2B%7D%5D%20%5BClO%5E%7B-%7D%5D%20%20%7D%7B%5BHClO%5D%7D)
Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M
4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M = 
Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,
x² = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048
= 1.92 × 10⁻⁹
Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,
x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
= - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]
= 4.35
It would be D.the food chain
B. They are composed of only one type of atom. This is your answer
The motion becomes smaller. Lets tale the example of water. At gaseous state, the particles moves rapidly in all directions. As it is cooled, it becomes liquid and the motion becomes smaller because the particles are now closer to each other as the attraction forces becomes stronger. As it is cooled further, it becomes solid. At solid state, the particles now vibrate in fixed position. Apply this concept to motion of molecules in a substance.
