Ka is ok. (HC2H3O2) is ok. Where is the (C2H3O2^-)? I don't see that anywhere. NaOH + HC2H3O2 ==> NaC2H3O2 + H2O Ka = (H^+)(C2H3O2^-)/(HC2H3O2) and solve for (H^+) = Ka*(HC2H3O2)/(C2H3O2^-) (H^+) = .... I get something like 4 x 10^-5 and pH about 4.4 or s...

The hypochlorite is the oxidizing agent and that is OCl^- and not Cl^- nor Cl2. Furthermore, HOCl oxidizing power is controlled somewhat by the acidity of the mixture. The half reaction for the OCl^- acting as an oxidizing agent is OCl^- + 2e + 2H^+ ==> C...
