Commercial chlorine bleach, for example Clorox, consists of a 1.108 M aqueous solution of the salt sodium hypochlorite, NaClO. Determine the pH of this salt solution. Hypochlorous acid, HClO, has a Ka=2.9x10^-8. Is your numerical answer consistent with your understanding of what makes a salt acidic, basic, or neutral? Yes or No? Explain
