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.

What are some positive applications for allelotoxin?
pogonyaev

Positive applications for allelotoxin is that it prevents plants from enduring any type of competition with other species.

<h3>What is Allelopathy?</h3>

This is the process in which a plant inhibits the growth of another through a secretion of a chemical which is referred to as allelotoxin.

This technique however reduces biodiversity which isn't ideal so as to prevent organisms from going extinct and also reduces adaptation or evolution due to the reduced or non growth of the plant species which are affected.

A common example is  the sorghum plant preventing of the growth of weeds thereby resulting in the most appropriate choices for the positive applications of allelotoxin.

If during an experiment zinc was found to be more reactive than lead or copper, zinc would be considered the strongest _____.
densk [106]

Zinc would be considered the strongest reducing agent.

<h3>Reducing agent</h3>

A reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" one electron to another chemical species in chemistry (called the oxidizing agent, oxidant, oxidizer, or electron acceptor). Earth metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds are a few examples of common reducing agents.

Reducers have excess electrons (i.e., they are already reduced) in their pre-reaction states, whereas oxidizers do not. Usually, a reducing agent is in one of the lowest oxidation states it can be in. The oxidation state of the oxidizer drops while the oxidizer's oxidation state, which measures the amount of electron loss, increases. The agent in a redox process whose oxidation state rises, which "loses/donates electrons," which "oxidizes," and which "reduces" is known as the reducer or reducing agent.
