Considering Le Chatelier's principle, what happens when you add more solute to a saturated solution already in equilibrium?

If I'm not wrong saturated solutions are in dynamic equilibrium. Will the addition of solute disturb the equilibrium? What exactly occurs and how to apply Le Chatelier's principle?

Find the pH of a solution obtained by mixing 100 ml 0.1m Na3PO4 and 100 ml 0.1 M NaH2PO4. Given that H3PO4: [Κα₁ = 10^-4, Κα₂ = 10^-7, Каз = 10^-11] [closed]

So, my query is that since NaH2PO4 is a weak acid, and Na3PO4 is a basic salt, wouldn't they react? Another theory was that since NaH2PO4 is a weak acid and Na3PO4 is a salt of strong acid and NaH2PO4,...

How can the Kw of water be constant?

I know in neutral solution, $\ce{[H+]}= \ce{[OH-]}= \pu{1.0 x 10^-7}$. However, let’s say I add an acid like HCl. This will increase $\ce{[H+]}$, therefore it’s no longer $\pu{1.0 x 10^-7}$, but is ...

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 ...
