Following reaction is involved in above system
HOCl(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + OCl-(aq)
OCl-(aq) + H2O(l) ↔ HOCl(aq) + OH-(aq)

Now, if the system is obeys 1st order kinetics we have
K = [OCl-][H+]/[HOCl] ............. (1)
∴ [HOCl-] / [OCl-] = [H+] (1 / 3.0 * 10-8) ............. (2)

and now considering that system is obeying 2nd order kinetics, we have
K = [OH-][HOCl-] / [OCl-] ................. (3)
Subs 2 in 3 we get
K = [OH-][H+] (1 / 3.0 * 10-8)
we know that, [OH-][H+] = 10-14

∴K = 3.3 * 10-7

Thus, correct answer is e i.e none of these

What is true when an element is oxidized? It bonds with the hydroxide ion. It loses electrons to another element. It reacts with

Mama L [17]

Answer: It loses electrons to another element.

Explanation:- Oxidation is the process in which an element loses electrons and there is an increase in the oxidation state. On losing electrons it combines with a electronegative element such as oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen etc.
