Question
Calculate the pH and pOH of a solution of sodium hypoiodite NaOI, with a formal concentration of 0.05784 mol L-1. Note that the compound is soluble, dissolves into sodium and hypoiodite ions, and these react with water. The p K a of hypoiodous acid at 298 K is 10.64. Calculate the pH and the pOH of the resulting solution. Use all the approximations you can, be sure to verify them.

Answer:
pH = 11.70
pOH = 2.298
Explanation:
As we know
NaOI + H2O NaOH + HOI
pH = 7 + ½ (pKa + log (HOI))
Substituting the given values, we get –
pH = 7 + ½ (10.64 + log (0. 0.05784))
pH = 7 + ½ (10.64 -1.2377)
pH = 11.70
pOH = 14 – pH
pOH = 14 -11.70
pOH = 2.298
