How do you calculate pKa from pH?
Can you explain how to calculate pKa from pH?
Sure! pKa represents the acidity constant of a compound. It's essentially the pH at which half of the compound is in its acid form, and the other half is in its conjugate base form. The formula for finding pKa from pH is pKa = pH + log([A-]/[HA]), where [A-] and [HA] represent the concentrations of the conjugate base and acid forms, respectively. Does that help?
