8.8 × 10-5 M is the [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.
Explanation:
HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.
the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.
HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+
I 0.265 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.265-x +x +x
Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.
Ka =
2.9 × 10^-8 =
= 7.698 x
x = 8.8 × 10-5 M
The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M in 0.265 M solution of HClO.
