HClO is a weak acid (Ka=4.0 x 10^-8) and so the salt NaClO acts as a weak base. What is the pH of a solution that is 0.020 M in NaClO at 25 C?
pH =13.99 is not correct. What steps do I need to take to come to. the correct answer.

Re: HW 2-3: Question 7
We start by calculating the concentration of the OH- ions that form from the reaction. Given that this is a basic reaction, we can find pOH by calculating the negative log of [OH-]. We then have minus this value from 14 to find the pH (pH + pOH = 14) and the pH would be 6.6.
