Answer to Question #208374 in General Chemistry for Rhea

Question

Write 50 word describing Henderson-Hasselbalch in chemistry.

Answer 1

Henderson-Hasselbach describes and relates the acid dissociation constant with the PH, an aqueous solution of an acid. Henderson-Hasselbach used the dissociation constant of acid to derive an equation named after him. According to his equation, when the conjugate base and the concentrations are the same, the PH of the solution will be given by the pKa of the acid.
