Olutions that contain a weak acid, ha, and its conjugate base, a−, are called buffer solutions because they resist drastic changes in ph. when a solution contains a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, it will be a buffer solution. for buffers containing a weak acid, the principal reaction is ha(aq)+h2o(l)⇌h3o+(aq)+a−(aq) unbuffered, a weak acid would ionize and the net reaction would proceed forward to reach equilibrium. however, when a significant amount of conjugate base is already present, the extent of the net reaction forward is diminished. thus, equilibrium concentrations of ha and a− are approximately equal to their initial concentrations. visualizing buffers you can visualize a buffer solution containing approximately equal concentrations of ha and a− in action using the following equation, where ka is the equilibrium constant: ka[h3o+]==[h3o+][a−][ha]ka[ha][a−] when the concentrations of ha and a− are relatively large, the addition of a small amount of acid or base changes their concentration negligibly. the result is that the ratio [ha]/[a−] maintains a value approximately equal to 1, and the [h3o+] is approximately equal to the ka value under buffer conditions. part a calculate the ph of the solution made by adding 0.50 mol of hobr and 0.30 mol of kobr to 1.00 l of water. the value of ka for hobr is 2.0×10−9. express your answer numerically

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
