Key Concepts

Buffer Solution

A buffer solution is a system that resists changes in pH upon the addition of small amounts of acid or base. In acid-base chemistry, buffers are made from a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid, which together maintain a nearly constant pH through equilibrium reactions.

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a logarithmic expression that relates the pH of a buffer solution to the pKa (or pKb) value and the ratio of concentrations of the conjugate base to the conjugate acid. This relationship is a crucial tool for calculating the pH of buffer systems.

Conjugate Acid-Base Pair

A conjugate acid-base pair consists of two species that differ by a proton. When a weak base is reacted with a strong acid, its conjugate acid is formed, and the equilibrium between the weak base and its conjugate acid is essential in establishing the buffering capacity of the solution.

Acid and Base Dissociation Constants

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) and its related pKa value, or the base dissociation constant (Kb) and its corresponding pKb, quantify the strength of acids and bases, respectively. These constants are fundamental in predicting the direction of acid-base reactions and in performing pH calculations for solutions.
