Work:
In your question the "ph" of a 0.55 m aqueous solution of hypobromous acid temperature is at 25 degrees C, and it's "ph" is 4.48.
You would use the ph (4.48) to find the ka for "hbro"
[H+]
=
10^-4.48
=
3.31 x 10^-5 M
=
[BrO-]
or: [H+] = 10^-4.48 = 3.31 x 10^-5 M = [BrO-]
Then you would find ka:
(3.31 x 10^-5)^2/0.55 =2 x 10^-9
