The Buffer Equation
A Weak Acid and Its Salt
HAc + H2O H3O+ + Ac-
K1[HAc][H2O] = K2[H3O+][Ac-]
[H3O+][Ac-] salt
Ka =
[HAc] acid
[salt]
pH= pKa+log
[acid]
Buffer equation or
Dissociation Henderson-Hasselbalch
exponent equation

Common ion effect
* when Sod. acetate is added to acetic acid
[H3O+][Ac-]
Ka =
[HAc]
is momentarily disturbed since the acetate ion supplied
by the salt increases the [Ac-]
10
The Buffer Equation
A weak base and its salt
[base]
[OH-] = Kb
[salt]
[H3O+] [OH-] = Kw
(H3O+cH3O+)(Ac- CAc-)
=
(HAcCHAc)
Activity coefficients

Activity coefficients
- log[aH3O +] = - log Ka + log
aAc-
aHAc
* activity coefficient of the undissociated acid HAc is
essentially 1 and may be dropped.
[salt]
pH = pKa + log + log Ac-
[acid]

pH
2. Temperature
The pH of the most basic buffer was found
to change more markedly with temp. than
that of acid buffers, owing to Kw.
15
pH indicator
Acid indicator
16
PH indicator
[base]
pH = pKIn + log 1/10~10/1
[acid]
* From experience, one cannot discern a change from the
acid color to the salt color the ratio of [base] to [acid] is
about 1 to 10
pH =pKIn + 1
base 10/1 1/10 acid
17
pH indicator
Characteristics of colorimetric method
less accurate
less convenient but less expensive than
electrometric method
difficult to apply for the unbuffered
pharmaceutical preparation (change the pH -
indicator itself is acids or base)
error may be introduced by the presence of
salts & proteins

Buffer capacity
the magnitude of the resistance of a buffer to
pH changes
B
= pH
buffer capacity
= buffer efficiency
= buffer index
= buffer value

23
Characteristics of Buffer Capacity
is not a fixed value, but rather depend on the amount
of base added
24

Secondary buffers : Erythrocytes ;
hemoglobin-oxyhemoglobin, K2Hpo4--KH2PO4
Lacriminal fluid
- pH: 7.4 (range 7 8 or slightly higher)
Urine
- pH: 6.0 (range 4.5 7.8)
- below normalhydrogen ions are excreted by the kidney.
- above pH 7.4hydrogen ions are retained by action of the kidney.

pH and solubility
* Influence of buffering on the solubility of base
- At a low pH : base is in the ionic form & usually very
soluble in aqueous media
