Answer:
4
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction between bismuth(III) hypochlorite and acetic acid can be represented as:
Bi(ClO)₃ + 3CH₃COOH ------------------> Bi(CCH₃COO)₃ + 3 HClO
₃
Bi⁺³ + 3ClO⁻₃ + 3CH₃COO⁻ + 3H⁺-----------> Bi(CH₃COO)₃ + 3H⁺ + 3ClO
⁻₃
From the above reaction, we can therefore conclude that the free ions that are present at the product side of the total ionic concentration = 4.
