We can set up an ICE table for the reaction:
HClO H+ ClO-
Initial 0.0375 0 0
Change -x +x +x
Equilibrium 0.0375-x x x
We calculate [H+] from Ka:
Ka = 3.0x10^-8 = [H+][ClO-]/[HClO] = (x)(x)/(0.0375-x)
Approximating that x is negligible compared to 0.0375 simplifies the equation to
3.0x10^-8 = (x)(x)/0.0375
3.0x10^-8 = x2/0.0375
x2 = (3.0x10^-8)(0.0375) = 1.125x10^-9
x = sqrt(1.125x10^-9) = 0.0000335 = 3.35x10^-5 = [H+]
in which 0.0000335 is indeed negligible compared to 0.0375.
We can now calculate pH:
pH = -log [H+] = - log (3.35 x 10^-5) = 4.47
There are many pieces of evidence provided as strong evidence: fro example the Comparative anatomy of many species. <span>This evidence is based on compares of the the skeletons of humans, cats, whales, and bats, illustrating how similar they are even though these animals live unique lifestyles in very different environments. Another piece of evidence is </span><span>biochemistry of all living things on Earth. This is so because is incredibly similar. This shows that all of Earth’s organisms share a common ancestry.</span>
