COMPREHENSION – 2

A proper control of pH is very essential for many industrial as well as biological processes. Solutions with a definite pH
can be prepared from single salts or mixtures of acid / bases and their salts. We also required solutions which resist
change in pH and hence have a reserve value. Such solutions are called buffer solutions. Henderson gave theoretical
equation for preparing acidic buffers of definite pH. The equation is
[salt]
pH = pKa + log
[acid]
A similar equation is used for basic buffers. The pH of aqueous solution of single salts is calculated by using an
expression whose exact form depends upon the nature of salt. For example, for salts strong base and weak acid, the
expression is
1 1
pH = 7 + pKa + log C
