A positive 5 charge, because there are 3 oxygens with a negative 2 charge, we know this because in almost every case Oxygen has a negative 2 charge. Making oxgen have a total negative 6 charge, and we know the molecule ClO3 have a negative one charge, thus making Cl to have a positive 5 chage to make the overall charge negative 1. To make sure, we know that hydrogen has a positive 1 charge, and since there is only 1 H atom we know that ClO3 has a negative 1, from which, shows we have done the work right, proving Cl has a positive 5 charge.

What is the formula of the conjugate acid for ClO3?
HClO. ClO and a - charge, which means it wants a proton. Therefor, the H comes and attaches itself to ClO making HClO
Formula for hypochlorite?
Formula: HClO
What is the intermolecular forces of HClO?
There are dipole attractions and hydrogen bonds present in HClO.
Which compounds would you expect Cl to have a partial positive charge?
Interhalogens like ClF or ClF3. Acids such as HClO, HClO2, HClO3, HClO4.
Is HClO a weak electrolyte?
yes
What is the conjugate of CLO?

Formula for hypochlorite?
Formula: HClO
What is the charge for hypochlorite ion?
Hydrolysis reaction: ClO- + H2O ----> HClO + OH-
Is hclo a perchloric acid?
No. HClO is hypochlorous acid. Perchloric acid is HClO3.
What is the intermolecular forces of HClO?
There are dipole attractions and hydrogen bonds present in HClO.

Interhalogens like ClF or ClF3. Acids such as HClO, HClO2, HClO3, HClO4.
What is the formal charge of chlorine in HClO?
[total # valence electrons] - [# lone electrons + 1/2(# paired electrons)] 20 - [4+1/2(10)] = 11 So, 11 is the formal charge.
What is the acid of CIO?
HClO
Is HClO a weak electrolyte?
yes
Is hclo linear?
HCLO isn't linear. This molecule is known as bent,polar. in order to be a linear molecule there must be two atoms.
WHen you have 50.5 mL of a solution of HClO. You titrate it with a 0.10 M solution of RbOH and use 15.3 mL to reach the endpoint. What is the concentration of HClO?
HClO + RbOH ==> H2O + RbClOmoles RbOH used = 0.0153 L x 0.10 mol/L = 0.00153 moles moles HClO present = 0.00153 moles (1:1 mole ratio in balanced equation) Concentration of HClO = 0.00153 moles/0.0505 L = 0.030 M (to 2 significant figures)
