    Following reaction is involved in above system

    HOCl (aq) ↔ H + (aq) + OCl - (aq)

    OCl - (aq) + H2O (l) ↔ HOCl (aq) + OH - (aq)

    Now, if the system is obeys 1st order kinetics we have

    K = [OCl-][H + ]/[HOCl] ... (1)

    ∴ [HOCl-] / [OCl-] = [H+] (1 / 3.0 * 10-8) ... (2)

    and now considering that system is obeying 2nd order kinetics, we have

    K = [OH-][HOCl-] / [OCl-] ... (3)

    Subs 2 in 3 we get

    K = [OH-][H+] (1 / 3.0 * 10-8)

    we know that, [OH-][H+] = 10 - 14

    ∴K = 3.3 * 10 - 7

    Thus, correct answer is e i. e none of these
