Acid /Base equations

Acid and Base Equations


[H+]   to  pH     = log (1/[H+])

pH to [H+]        =  10-pH

kw = 1 x10-14 at 250C

[OH-] to pOH   = log (1/[OH-])

pOH to [OH-]   = 10-pOH

At 250C  pH + pOH = 14


Ka = [H+] [A-]/[HA]

Kb = [BH+] [OH-]/[B]

Ka to pKa     = log (1/Ka)

pKa to Ka     = 10-pKa

Kb to pKb    = log (1/Kb)

pKb to Kb     = 10-kb


Ka x Kb = 1 x 10-14   at 25OC

PKa + pKb = 14 at 25OC



pH of an acidic buffer =   PKa + log [salt]/[acid]

pOH of a basic buffer = pKb + log [salt]/[base]
