Acid-Base Chemistry: pH, Buffers, and Equilibrium, Study notes of Biochemistry

A detailed overview of acid-base chemistry, focusing on the behavior of water, ph calculations, and buffer systems. It covers key concepts such as the dissociation of water, the role of hydronium ions, and the principles behind ph and poh. The document also explains the henderson-hasselbalch equation and its application in understanding buffer capacity, along with examples of biological buffer systems like phosphate, bicarbonate, and histidine. It is a valuable resource for students studying chemistry, biochemistry, or related fields, offering a comprehensive look at acid-base equilibria and their biological significance. (410 characters)
