Henderson-Hasselbalch Acid Calculator
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is used to determine the pH of an acid solution when given the concentration of the acid, its conjugate base, and the dissociation constant. The equation is written as:
pH = pKa + log ([A-][HA]
)
...where pKa is the dissociation constant, [A-] is the concentration of the conjugate base, and [HA] is the concentration of the acid. This calculator will determine a fourth unknown value in the equation when provided with any three other values.
