Acids and Bases
Learning outcomes - after studying this topic, you should be able to:
- define strong and weak acids and bases
- describe the equilibria between acids and bases
- recognize conjugate acid-base pairs
- use pH, pKa and pKb in calculations
- describe the chemical basis of the buffer effect
- use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation in buffer calculations
- determine charges in biological molecules which depend on the pH
