Equi constant for acid/base
Acid = Ka
Base = Kb
pH + pOH =
14
Water pH
The higher the pKa/pKb the …
Weaker the acid/base
pKa equation
-log Ka
pH equation
-log[H+]
Henderson hasslback equation
pH = pKa + log [acid]/[base]
Polyprotic
Have multiple protons donor sites
Ampiprotic
Can act as acids or bases
Buffer solution
Solution containing weak conjugate acids-base pairs that is able to accommodate the addition of strong acids or bases without the pH of the solution changing too much
