Question

Hypochlorous acid (HOCI) is an effective disinfectant and a weak acid that dissociates into hypochlorite ion (OCI). Although both hypochlorous acid and its dissociated ion are considered as disinfectant, hypochlorous acid is significantly more efficacious. Calculate the pH value at which the HOCI concentration is 91% of total available chlorine (C_{T})
