Many reactions in solution involve acids and bases, and so this chapter examines these important reactions in detail. Topics covered include the ionisation of water, pH, pOH, acids and bases, conjugate acids and conjugate bases, acid and base dissociation constants, the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the Henderson-Hasselbalch approximation, buffer solutions and buffer capacity. A unique feature of this chapter is a ‘first principles’ analysis of how a reaction buffered at a particular pH achieves an equilibrium composition different from that of the same reaction taking place in an unbuffered solution. This introduces some concepts which are important in understanding the biochemical standard state, as required for Chapter 23.

The apparent first dissociation constant of carbonic acid has been defined in different ways in the literature. Harned and co-workers (8-10) have defined it in terms of molalities of the participating species, including H ions: Ks = mHmHCO3/mCO2. In contrast, Hastings and Sendroy have defined an apparent constant in which acidity is expressed as H ion activity: K'1 = aHmHCO3/mCO2. These constants differ by a factor gamma H, the activity coefficient of H ions at the prevailing ionic strength. Therefore, pK'1 is greater than pKs by an amount equal to -log gamma H, which, at mu = 0.16 M, is approximately 0.1. It is important that the correct value for the apparent dissociation constant or its logarithmic form be entered in the mass action expression or in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation in order to prevent significant errors in the computation by means of these equations of quantities that cannot be directly measured. Specifically, for the derivation of bicarbonate concentration from PCO2 and pH (-log aH), pK'1 is to be used and not an uncorrected pKs.
