[ 4 0 points ] Household bleach, sodium hypochlorite ( N a O C l ) , is used as a disinfectant. Neglecting ionic strength

[40 points] Household bleach, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), is used as a disinfectant.
Neglecting ionic strength effects, determine the (i)pH and (ii) concentrations of the "free
chlorine" species, HOCl and OCl-, in a freshly prepared solution of 10-3MNaOCl in distilled
water. To streamline solving this problem, do not account for carbonate in the system and
assume that [OCl-]>>[HOCl] and that [HOCl]>>[H+]. Provide reasoning for why these are
valid assumptions.
