How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?

The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.

Acids give off H+ (Hydrogen) ions in water; bases give off OH- (Hydroxide) ions in water. Acids generally taste sour due to the sour H+ ion; bases taste bitter due to the OH- ion; but they may have other tastes depending on the other part of the molecule.
