HOCl + H2O ==> H3O^+ + OCl^-
Kiki--I just don't understand what your problem is with HOCl and HOBr. These are weak acids just like acetic acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, etc. They ionize partially and the have Ka. Their salts ionize in water just as acetate ion does and their Kb in water is Kw/Ka.
