    for HClO, pKa = 7.54

    for HNO_2, pKa = 3.15

    for CH3 COOH, pKa = 4.74

    Explanation:

    The concentration of the solution given is 0.1 M has a pH closest to 7

    The mixtures are weak acids and their salts except

    HNO_3 and NaNO_3 pH = pH is near to '1'

    for buffers (acidic) pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

    therefore [salt] = [acid] = 0.1 pH = pKa + log 0.1 / 0.1 = pKa

    pH = pKa

    for HClO, pKa = 7.54

    for HNO_2, pKa = 3.15 therefore HClO and NaclO

    mixture hs a pH closest to '7'

    for CH3 COOH, pKa = 4.74

    The answer is: A. HCIO (aq) and NaCIO (aq

    Explanation:

    From buffers, the pH is equal:

    pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid])

    [sal] = [acid] = 0.1 M

    Replacing:

    pH = pKa + log (0.1/0.1)

    pH = pKa + 0

    pH = pKa

    According to this:

    pKa of HClO ≅ 7.54

    pKa of HNO₂ ≅ 3.15

    pKa of CH₃COOH ≅ 4.74

    Then, the mix that present a pH closest to 7 is HClO and NaClO
