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

present initially. b. x (or the change in the reaction) is approximately zero, that is we use the weak acid approximation. c. The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation. d. We only have the weak acid initially.

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.

When 35.0 mL of 0.400 M hydrobromic acid and 35.0 mL of 0.400 M ammonia are combined, the pH of the resulting solution will be :
Kay [80]

Answer:

B. Equal to 7.

Explanation:

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid that decreases pH and ammonia is a strong base that increases pH.

As the initial pH of water is 7,0 the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HBr will produce a pH less than 7,0. But, the same effect of decreasing pH is reverted for the addition of 35.0mL of 0.400M HNO3.

That means the net effect of the two addition is to have a pH:

B. Equal to 7.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Exergonic ,Endergonic,low concentration area,high

Explanation:

In exergonic reaction,certain molecules are broken down;in the process they release energy which is captured when high energy molecules(such as ATP and NADH) are formed.

                          The breakdown of these molecules can be coupled to thermodynamically unfavorable processes such as Endergonic reactions or pumping og hydrogen ion from low concentration areas to high concentration areas.
