Answer
pH=8.5414
Procedure
The Henderson–Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a chemical solution of a weak acid to the numerical value of the acid dissociation constant, Kₐ. In this equation, [HA] and [A⁻] refer to the equilibrium concentrations of the conjugate acid-base pair used to create the buffer solution.
pH = pKa + log₁₀ ([A⁻] / [HA])
Where
pH = acidity of a buffer solution
pKa = negative logarithm of Ka
Ka =acid disassociation constant
[HA]= concentration of an acid
[A⁻]= concentration of conjugate base
First, calculate the pKa
pKa=-log₁₀(Ka)= 8.6383
Then use the equation to get the pH (in this case the acid is HBrO)
The concentration of [H3O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M
<h3>Further explanation</h3>In general, the weak acid ionization reaction
HA (aq) ---> H⁺ (aq) + A⁻ (aq)
Ka's value
Reaction
HC₂H₃O₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇔ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq) Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵
[H₃O⁺]=2.86 x 10⁻⁶ M
