Consider the following reaction: HBrO (aq) + H2O (l) ⇋ H3O+ (aq) + BrO- (aq) If the value of Kc for this process is 5.2 x 10-5, there is no H3O+ or BrO- initially present, and the initial [HBrO] = 1.13 M, what will be the concentration of BrO- at equilibrium? HINT: you should not use the quadratic formula for this problem.
