Answer #1

initially

millimoles of HClO = 50 x 0.3 = 15

millimoles of KClO = 50 x 0.25 = 12.5

millimoles of HBr added = 1.0 x 2.0 = 2.0

after HBr added

millimoles of HClO = 15 + 2.0 = 17.0

millimoles of KClO = 12.5 - 2.0 = 10.5

total volume = 50 + 1 = 51 mL

[HClO] = 17.0 / 51 = 0.33 M

[KClO] = 10.5 / 51 = 0.206 M

pH = pKa + log [KClO] / [HClO]

pKa= - log Ka = - log [2.9 x 10-8] = 7.54

pH = 7.54 + log [0.206] / [0.33]

pH = 7.34
