Respuesta :

CLO- + H2O HCLO + OH-.

The equilibrium is being attained even without going through complete conversion.

Answer : The acid-base equilibrium reaction between [tex]ClO^-[/tex] and [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be,

[tex]ClO^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HClO+OH^-[/tex]

Explanation :

Acid-base equilibrium reaction : It is defined as a state of chemical equilibrium that exists when the both species of conjugate acid-base pair are present in the solution.

In the reaction, an acid donates a proton to a base and to produce a conjugate acid and a conjugate base in the solution.

The acid-base equilibrium reaction between [tex]ClO^-[/tex] and [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be,

[tex]ClO^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HClO+OH^-[/tex]

In this reaction, [tex]ClO^-[/tex] is a base and [tex]H_2O[/tex] is an acid that donates a proton to a base to produce [tex]HClO[/tex] as a conjugate acid and [tex]OH^-[/tex] as a conjugate base.
