Calculate the `pH` of `0.08` solution of `HOCI` (hydrochlorous acid). The ionisation constant of the acid is `2.5 xx 10^(-5)`. Determine the percent dissociation of `HOCI`.

Explanation

To calculate the pH of a 0.08 M solution of HOCl (hydrochlorous acid) and determine its percent dissociation, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate pKa from Ka
We know the ionization constant (Ka) of HOCl is given as \(2.5 \times 10^{-5}\). To find pKa, we use the formula:
\[ pKa = -\log(Ka) \]
Substituting the value of Ka:
