The correct answer is C. The water is the solvent because the green pellets dissolved in it.

Explanation:

In solutions, the are two substances involved, the solvent and the solute. The solvent is usually a liquid substance; additionally, the solvent dissolves another substance, which is known as the solute. For example, if you dissolve a spoon of salt in a glass of water, the solute is the salt which is the substance dissolved and the solvent is the water because the solute is dissolved in it. According to this, in the case presented the water is the solvent because the green pellets which are the solute dissolve in it.

From the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, explain how the ratio [Al/[HA] changes with changing pH

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The ratio [A-]/[HA] increase when the pH increase and the ratio decrease when the pH decrease.

Explanation:

Every weak acid or base is at equilibrium with its conjugate base or acid respectively when it is dissolved in water.

$HA + H_{2}O$ ⇄ $A^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}$

This equilibrium depends on the molecule and it acidic constant (Ka). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

$pH = pKa + Log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

shows the dependency between the pH of the solution, the pKa and the concentration of the species. If the pH decreases the concentration of protons will increase and the ratio between A- and AH will decrease. Instead, if the pH increases the concentration of protons will decreases and the ratio between A- and AH will increase.
