Dissociation of Zn(NO3)2 yields an acidic medium. But wait, we've got two ions of NO3(-) created in the process, would they not nullify the influence of ZnOH(+) and H(+)?
@Martin-マーチン Thanks for the clarification on that. I'm a moderator on another website and that's the kind of thing we would consider spam there, but I guess things are done differently around here :)
I forgot. Why when an acid loses H+ into the solution, why does the solution turn acidic? There's the negatively charged moiety too, generated by the same fact of H+ being split off. Why this negatively charged thing does not nullify the action of H+?
@CopperKettle No, because HNO3 is a strong acid and basic salts are usually weak.
I mean in their basicity.

Can anyone tell me why electrons beyond the concerned electron, say, in the $n$ shell do not contribute in the screening constant? Why do only electrons of $n-1$ shells contribute in the screening constant?
I was having trouble on figuring out how to calculate spontaneity of a galvanic cell with electrolytes different than the electrodes: on the anode side, you have aluminum electrode and aluminum chloride solution and on the cathode side, you have copper electrode and sulfuric acid electrolyte.
