    HClO (l) → H⁺ (aq) + ClO⁻ (aq)

    proton and hypochlorite.

    Explanation:

    HClO (Hypochlorous acid)

    This is a weak acid that can be dissociated as this:

    HClO (l) → H⁺ (aq) + ClO⁻ (aq)

    proton and hypochlorite.

    It is a weak acid, so it can adopt a Ka for its equilibrium

    HClO + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + ClO⁻ Ka

    Molar mass = 52.46 g/m
