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 correct answer to the problem is 0.193 which is three significant figures.
<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>
The term significant figures has to do with the figures that have a mathematical meaning. We know that the result has to correspond to the highest number of significant figures.
Hence, If we multiply 0.34 x 0.568 the result ought to be recorded as 0.193 which is three significant figures.

Answer:
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
Explanation:
Mass of glucose given is 55grams.
We are to find the mass of oxygen in this compound.
In the compound we have 6 atoms of oxygen.
Solution
To find the mass of oxygen in glucose, we calculate the formula mass of glucose. We now divide the formula mass of the oxygen atom with that of the glucose and multiply by the given mass to find the unkown mass.
Atomic mass of C = 12g
H = 1g
O = 16g
Formula mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = {(12x6) + (1x12) + (16x6)} = 180
Mass of O in glucose = 
x 55
= 
x 55
= 0.53 x 55
Mass of oxygen in glucose = 29.3g
