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
