I believe the answer is A.
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Given:
pH of a 0.55 M hypobromous
acid (HBrO) at 25.0 °C = 4.48
[H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x
10^-5 M = [BrO-] <span>
Ka = (3.31 x 10^-5)^2 / 0.55 = 2 x 10^-9</span>
To add, Hypobromous Acid does not require acid
adjustment, which is necessary for chlorine-based product and is stable and
effective in pH ranges of 5-9.<span>
</span>Hypobromous Acid combines with organic
compounds to form a bromamine. Chlorine also combines with the same organic
compounds to form a chloramine. <span>It is also
one of the least expensive intervention antimicrobial compounds available.</span>
The number is is surely 1
