Answer to Question #208662 in General Chemistry for Rhea

Question

Write 50 word describing Henderson-Hasselbalch in chemistry.

Answer 1

In chemistry, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation describes the derivation of pH as a measure of acidity in biological and chemical systems, using pKa, acid dissociation constant. This equation can also be used to estimate the pH value of the buffer solution and find the equilibrium pH value in the acid-base reaction (it is widely used to calculate the isoelectric point of a protein).
