Explanation / Answer

no of moles of hypochlorous acid ( HClO) = molarity * volume in L

                                                                    = 0.421*0.155    = 0.065255moles

no of moles of NaOH    = 3.29*10^-2 moles   = 0.0329 moles

                 HClO(aq) + NaOH(aq) ----------> NaClO(aq) + H2O(l)

I                0.065255    0.0329                       0

C              -0.0329       -0.0329                       0.0329

E              0.032355         0                             0.0329

              Pka of HClO   = 7.54

PH    = PKa + log[NaClO]/[HClO]

         = 7.54 + log0.0329/0.032355

         = 7.54 + 0.007254   = 7.5473 >>>>answer
