Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) of <span>an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid:
HClO(aq) </span>⇄ H⁺(aq) + ClO⁻(aq).
Ka = [H⁺] · [ClO⁻] / [HClO].
[H⁺] is equilibrium concentration of hydrogen cations or protons.
[ClO⁻] is equilibrium concentration of <span>hypochlorite anions.
</span>[HClO] is equilibrium concentration <span> of hypochlorous acid.
</span>Ka is t<span>he acid dissociation constant.</span>
the variable that we change in an experiment is the Independent Variable. The dependent variable is the outcome and the constant is what remains the same throughout the experiment.
