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 ...

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 ...

THE importance of degeneracy in enhancing the stability of radicals such as triphenylmethyl has been emphasized by many authors; for example, Pauling and Wheland 1, Ingold 2, etc. This being so, it is ...
