Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) of an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid:
HClO(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + ClO⁻(aq).
Ka = [H⁺] · [ClO⁻] / [HClO].
[H⁺] is equilibrium concentration of hydrogen cations or protons.
[ClO⁻] is equilibrium concentration of hypochlorite anions.
[HClO] is equilibrium concentration of hypochlorous acid.
Ka is the acid dissociation constant.
