Question

Given below are two statements Statement--I: Conjugate base of hypochlorous acid is \(\mathrm{OCl^-}\) Statement--II: The value of \(K_w\) does not depend on temperature The correct answer is

• A. Both statements I and II are correct
• B. Statement I is correct but statement II is not correct
• C. Statement I is not correct but statement II is correct
• D. Both statements I and II are not correct

Hint:

Remember: \[ \boxed{ \mathrm{HOCl \xrightarrow{-H^+} OCl^-} } \] Also, \[ \boxed{ K_w \text{ is temperature dependent.} } \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
