How can adding a strong base to a weak base be the same as a strong base in solution problem?
Quote essential parts or summaries of links you provide, as questions should be self-contained even in cases the links stop working. Also, users should be able to evaluate the question even without following the links that should serve just for more details or reference.

Why do we only use the principal quantum number to calculate the energy of an electron in an H atom?
It is unclear what resources you have consulted before asking this question and what conclusion you have made from that.

Why do nutrition facts label differ for canned Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)?
Different ingredients and their ratio with different procedures lead to different results. If you want details, you need to ask producers.

Why would the theoretical pH not match the measured pH when performing a titration of NH4OH with HCl?
@FusRoDah My prior comments were not aware of later edit, involving explicit exposure to air. I do not deny the major CO2 influence. The comments pointed out the fact measured pH rarely fits calculated ones and CO2 absorption creates ionic strength forming ammonium and (hydrogen)carbonate.

Stability constant of transition complexes
I have not said it is, once it switches to molar concentrations.
comment
Stability constant of transition complexes
@FusRoDah Not really. it is more about being constant than unity. Any parameter being constant enough can be implicitly involved. OTOH, a parameter being about 1, but not constant enough, cannot.

One of reasons is your theoretical pH prediction worked with approximation that molar concentrations are numerically equal to thermodynamic activity. // You did not provide the volume of titrated ammonia solution (not ammonium hydroxide solution, as hydroxide neutralises ammonium).

Why do we assume that entropy of H+ ion solution at 298 K is zero?
I assume it would be the formation entropy as the entropy difference for the formal change H+ to H+, Similarly as O2 has formation entropy/enthalpy/Gibbs energy as S/H/G changes conventionally zero, for the change O2 to O2.

Sodium zincate reaction
[Zn(H2O)6]^2+ + [Zn(OH)4(H2O)2]^2- -> 2 [Zn(OH)2(H2O)4], with the product condensation and coagulation.

Why reaction rate has to be necessarily positive?
Negative rate means the negative net rate of the reaction in forward sense and positive net rate in backward sense. But the rates of forward and backward reactions are never negative.

What affects the values of cryoscopic and ebulioscopic constants?
Additionally, see the Trouton's rule (Delta S_vap = Delta H_vap / T_b is approx 85-88 J/K/mol, useful for most nonpolar solvents, but with deviations for polar solvents with hydrogen bonds.)
