Why is it that in a buffer solution the equilibrium concentrations may be assumed to be the initial concentrations? [duplicate]
Considering the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation,
$$\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \lg \frac{[\ce{AcO⁻}]} {[\ce{AcOH}]}$$
$$\text{p}K_a = \lg \frac{[\ce{AcO⁻}][\ce{H⁺}]} {[\ce{AcOH}]}$$
Why are the values ...

How many grams of sodium phosphate must be added to precipitate as much of one ion as possible?
Problem text:
Solid sodium phosphate is slowly added to $\pu{200 mL}$ of a solution containing $\pu{0.002 mol}$ of aluminum chloride and $\pu{0.001 mol}$ of calcium chloride (assuming no volume ...

Will NaF + CaCO3 precipitate much CaF2?
If I mix sodium fluoride, calcium carbonate powder, and water, under what conditions (if any) would there be an equilibrium?
I.e. assume we start out with fully dissociated $\ce{Na+(aq) + F-(aq)}$, ...

About pH of an aqueous solution of SO2
Probably we can have an aqueous solution of $\ce{SO2}$ by dissolving it in water, because we would have an equilibrium between $\ce{SO2(g)}$ and $\ce{SO2(aq)}$:
$$\ce{SO2(g) <=> SO2(aq)}$$
How ...
