Hey everyone, we're asked to classify our hypochlorite ion as either a basic or a neutral an ion if it is a basic an ion, right? A chemical equation showing how it acts as a base in an aqueous solution. To determine if our hypochlorite ion is basic or neutral. Let's go ahead and add a proton to see which acid it came from. When we do this, we find that it came from our hipaa Cloris acid and we know this to be a weak acid, since it is an oxy acid with less than three oxygen atoms. So our hipaa chloride ion is going to be a basic an ion. Writing out our chemical equation. We start off with our hypochlorite ion and we react this with water. And when these two react, we end up with our hipaa Cloris acid plus our hydroxide ion. And this is going to be our final answers. So I hope this made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
