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.

The reaction below demonstrates which characteristic of a base? Upper C U upper S upper O subscript 4 (a q) plus 2 upper N a upp
Gnesinka [82]

"The ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt" demonstrates characteristic of a base.

<u>Answer:</u> Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

As the sodium hydroxide react with only with some metals. It is a very strong basic compound with a intense solubility in water and hygroscopic in nature. The ability of base is reflected from its potential to react with metals. In the given reaction:

\mathrm{CuSO}_{4}(a q)+2 \mathrm{NaOH}(a q) \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(s)+\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}(a q)

\mathrm{Cu} \mathrm{SO}_{4} is an acidic property showing salt which is added with sodium hydroxide and this reaction result into a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & sodium sulphate which is neutral salt. The reaction is a double displacement and precipitation reaction.
