Household bleach is an aqueous solution that contains 5.25g of sodium hypochlorite, NaOCl(aq), per 100mL of solution. What is the molar concentration of sodium hypochlorite in bleach?
Added by Thomas W.
Step 1
The molar mass of Na is approximately 23 g/mol, O is 16 g/mol, and Cl is 35.5 g/mol. Adding these together, we get a molar mass of approximately 74.5 g/mol for NaOCl. Show more…
