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 ...

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 ...
