NounSingular hypochlorous acid Plural uncountable hypochlorous acid (uncountable)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid with the chemical formula HClO. In the swimming pool industry, hypochlorous acid is referred to as HOCl. It forms when chlorine dissolves in water. It cannot be isolated in pure form due to rapid equilibration with its precursor (see below). HClO is used as a bleach, an oxidizer, a deodorant, and a disinfectant. FormationAddition of chlorine to water gives both hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid:
When acids are added to aqueous salts of hypochlorous acid (such as sodium hypochlorite in commercial bleach solution) this reaction is driven to the left, and chlorine gas is evolved. Thus, the formation of stable hypochlorite bleaches is facilitated by dissolving chlorine gas into basic water solutions, such as sodium hydroxide. From Wikipedia under the

This is the easiest information I found about the dangers to the body The predominant targets of the acid are the epithelia of the ocular conjunctivae and upper respiratory mucus membranes. Acids formed by the chlorine gas reaction with the conjunctival mucous membranes are buffered, in part, by the tear film and the proteins present in tears. Acid burns to the periphery of the cornea and conjunctiva often heal uneventfully, while burns to the center of the cornea may lead to corneal ulcer formation and subsequent scarring.

NH4Cl is a strong electrolyte. (a.) what are the solute particles present in aqueous solutions of each compound? (B.) if 0.1 mol of each compound is dissolved in each solution, which one contains 0.2 mol of solute particles, which contains 0.1 mol of solute particles, and which contains somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2 mol of solute particles.

Acetone --> acetone HClO -->HClO + H+ + ClO- NH4Cl- ---> NH4+ + Cl- b) Acetone is 0.1 mol solute particles HClO has somewhere between 0.1 mol and 0.2 mol solute particles NH4Cl has 0.2 mol solute particles Answered by Mr Hex Vision - Wed Aug 27 23:36:19 2008 Ka for hypochlorous acid, HClO, is 3.0x10-8.?
Q. Ka for hypochlorous acid, HClO, is 3.0x10-8. a. Calculate the pH after addition of 15.0 ml of 0.100 M NaOH to 40.0 ml of 0.100 M HClO. b. Identify the pH at half equivalent point.

HClO + NaOH --> NaClO + H2O Moles NaOH added: 0.1 moles in 1000mL, ? in 15mL --> 0.1 * 15/1000 = 0.0015 mol Therefore mol of ClO- produced = 0.0015 mol in (15 + 40) = 55mL ? in 1000mL --> 0.0015*1000/55 = 0.0273M Moles of HClO initially: 0.1 moles in 1000mL, ? in 40mL --> 0.1 * 40/1000 = 0.004 mol 0.0015 mol NaOH react with 0.0015 mol HClO So mol HClO left = 0.004 - 0.0015 = 0.0025 in 55 mL ? in 1000mL --> 0.0025*1000/55 = 0.0455M pKa = -log Ka = 7.52 So, using the Henderson Hasselbach equation pH = pKa + log ([ClO-]/[HClO]) = 7.52 + log (0.0273/0.0455) = 7.3 b. At the equivalence point, all the HClO has been converted to ClO-, and since the 2 solutions are equimolar, it will take 40mL of NaOH to achieve this.
