Buffer has pka. Calculate pH

1 Answer

5 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the pH of a buffer with a known pKa for the conjugate acid, the Henderson-Hasselbach equation can be used to obtain the pH of the buffer:


pH = pK_a + log_(10)(([A^-])/([HA]) )

[A-] is the concentration of the conjugate base and [HA] is the concentration of the conjugate acid.
