Question

A buffer solution was prepared by mixing 0.25 M hypochlorous acid (HClO) and 0.30 M potassium hypochlorite (KClO). The pK_a of HClO is 7.52 and the pH of the resulting solution is 7.60. Provide the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for the buffer.

Accepted Answer

Chemical structure of potassium hypochlorite (KClO).

Answer

Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a buffer solution with HClO and KClO.

Answer

Graph illustrating the relationship between pH and pKa for the buffer solution.

Answer

Chemical structure of hypochlorous acid (HClO).

A buffer solution was prepared by mixing 0.25 M hypochlorous acid (HClO) and 0.30 M potassium hypochlorite (KClO). The pKa of HClO is 7.52 and the pH of the resulting solution is 7.60. Provide the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for the buffer.
