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.
Convert temperature to Kelvin
Convert vol to L
Apply Charles law
- V1T_2=V2T_1
- 0.4(400)=498V_2
- 160=498V_2
- V_2=0.32L=320mL
They are three types of mixtures:
-solutions : they are homogeneous mixtures of 2 or more sub. in a single phase.
-suspensions: if the particles in a solvent are so large that they settle out unless constantly tired, the mixture is called a suspension.
-colloids: particles that are intermediate in size between those of solutions and suspensions form mixtures called colloids.
