Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Integrative Medical Biochemistry Examination and Board Review AB - High-Yield TermspH: defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of any given solutionpKa: represents a relationship between pH and the equilibrium constant (Ka) for the dissociation of weak acids and bases in solution. Like pH, pKa is the negative logarithm of KaIsoelectric point: defines the pH at which a molecule or substance carries no net electric chargeHendersen-Hasselbalch equation: defines the relationship between pH and pKa for any dissociation reaction of a weak acid or base such that when the concentration of any conjugate base (A-) and its acid (HA) are equal, the pKa for that dissociation is equivalent to the pH of the solutionBuffering: relates to the property that when the pH of a solution is close to the pKa of a weak acid or base, the addition of more acid or base will not result in appreciable change in the pH SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/04/18 UR - accesspharmacy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1122102846 ER -
