The acid dissociation constant, K a, and its negative decadic log, pK a, are key life sciences parameters that describe molecular acidity. Specifically, these values indicate the protonation state of ...

THE hydroxycarboxylic acids form very stable complexes with metal ions. In alkaline solution, both the carboxylic and the alcoholic hydroxyl groups take part in complex formation. For the calculation ...

This lab includes a theoretical explanation of how buffers work and how they are made, including a derivation of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Students will use what they have learned to ...

THE effects of increasing length of the alkylene bridge on acid dissociation constants and metal chelate stability constants of homologues of ethylene-diaminetetra-acetic acid derived from ...
