Answer to Question #303815 in Physical Chemistry for Chemistry

Question

Derive the Henderson’s Equation for a Basic Buffer.

Answer 1

The formula for the Henderson–Hasselbalch equation is: pH=pKa+log([A−][HA]) pH = p K a + log ( [ A − ] [ HA ] ) , where pH is the concentration of [H+], pK_a is the acid dissociation constant, and [A^–] and [HA] are concentrations of the conjugate base and starting acid.
