Buffer pH vs pKa of Weak Acid

Fórmula

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

Formula

pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻] / [HA])

Where:

  • pH = hydrogen ion activity
  • pKa = acid dissociation constant (log scale)
  • [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base
  • [HA] = concentration of weak acid
  • When [A⁻] = [HA], pH = pKa. Buffers resist pH changes best within ±1 of the pKa.

    Ejemplo Resuelto

    An acetate buffer with pKa = 4.76, [CH₃COO⁻] = 0.1 M, [CH₃COOH] = 0.1 M.

    1. 01pH = pKa + log₁₀([A⁻]/[HA])
    2. 02pH = 4.76 + log₁₀(0.1/0.1)
    3. 03pH = 4.76 + log₁₀(1)
    4. 04pH = 4.76 + 0
    5. 05pH = 4.76

    Preguntas Frecuentes

    What is the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?

    It relates the pH of a buffer solution to the pKa of the acid and the ratio of conjugate base to acid concentrations. It is derived from the Ka expression by taking logarithms.

    When is this equation most accurate?

    It works best when the buffer ratio [A⁻]/[HA] is between 0.1 and 10, i.e., within ±1 pH unit of the pKa.

    Can I use this for basic buffers?

    Yes. Use pKa of the conjugate acid, [A⁻] as the base form, and [HA] as the acid form of the buffer pair.
