Once the ionic solid has dissolved, the anion that is formed is able to react as a base, with water as the acid. Write the net acid-base reaction that occurs when dissolved NaClO reacts with water. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Omit states-of-matter in your answer.)

Respuesta :

Answer: The net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written below.

Explanation:

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the ionization of NaClO follows:

[tex]NaClO(s)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+ClO^-(aq.)[/tex]

Now, the anion formed which is [tex]ClO^-[/tex] reacts with water to form conjugate acid.

The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

[tex]ClO^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HClO(aq.)[/tex]

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.
