Question

Classify $$OCl^{−} as a $$basic or neutral anion. If it is a basic anion, write a chemical equation showing how it acts as a base in an aqueous solution.

Accepted Answer

Basic; $$OCl^{−}(aq$$) + $$H_{2}O(l$$) ⇌ HOCl(aq) + $$OH^{−}(aq)$$

Answer

Basic; $$OCl^{−}(aq$$) + $$H_{2}O(l$$) ⇌ HCl(aq) + 2 $$OH^{−}(aq)$$

Answer

Neutral;

Classify OCl− as a basic or neutral anion. If it is a basic anion, write a chemical equation showing how it acts as a base in an aqueous solution.
