Capstone: Buffer pH Calculation
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
This capstone builds and then stresses a buffer, combining the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, the underlying weak-acid equilibrium it is derived from, and buffer capacity into one worked calculation, showing that Henderson-Hasselbalch is a shortcut for an ICE table already at equilibrium, not a separate rule.
Watch for
Applying Henderson-Hasselbalch past the point where either buffer component is exhausted produces a nonsensical or undefined result rather than a small, correctly attenuated pH shift.
