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
