Hendreson Equation :
- The equation that relates the pH of an aqueous solution of an acid to the acid dissociation constant of the acid, is known as the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. pH=pkA+log10[conjugate base][weak acid].
Importance :
- The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation describes the relationship between blood pH and the components of the H2 CO3 buffering system. This qualitative description of acid/base physiology allows the metabolic component to be separated from the respiratory components of acid/base balance.
Derivation :
- Take the ionization reaction of a weak acid (HA):
- ionization of acid
- The dissociation constant Ka of the above reaction will be:
- proton donor and proton acceptor
- Dissociation constant is the ratio of the concentration of products by the concentration of reactants. The square brackets, [ ], denote ‘concentration’.
- Then from the equation (2) take out the [H⁺] to the left side (solve for H⁺):
- ph pka and buffer actionThen take the negative logarithm of both sides:
- titration curve of weak acid
- We know that the – log [H⁺] is pH and the – log Ka is pKa.
- Substitute the pH and pKa in the equation (4):
- what is pKa and ka
- Now invert the -log [HA]/[A¯], which involves changing its sign to obtain the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
- buffer action
[A¯] is the concentration of proton acceptor (it can accept the proton in a buffer.
[HA] is the concentration of proton donor (it can donate a proton in the buffer)
Thus the equation (6) can be better stated as:Hasselbalch equationThe above equation is called the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
