Question
Which equation is used to calculate pH of a buffer solution?
Explanation
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is obtained by applying the relevant formula or quantitative relationship to the given parameters. In pH and Buffer, numerical problem-solving requires understanding the mathematical relationships between biological variables. The calculation involves substituting the provided values into the appropriate equation and solving systematically. The other options (Arrhenius equation, Van’t Hoff equation, and Raoult’s Law) result from common calculation errors such as using incorrect formulas, misidentifying variables, inverting ratios, or making arithmetic mistakes.
