  2. Bicarbonate buffer system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicarbonate_buffer_system

    k H CO 2 is a constant including the solubility of carbon dioxide in blood. k H CO 2 is approximately 0.03 (mmol/L)/mmHg; p CO 2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood; Combining these equations results in the following equation relating the pH of blood to the concentration of bicarbonate and the partial pressure of carbon ...

  3. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...

  4. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    The pH changes relatively slowly in the buffer region, pH = pK a ± 1, centered at pH = 4.7, where [HA] = [A −]. The hydrogen ion concentration decreases by less than the amount expected because most of the added hydroxide ion is consumed in the reaction

  5. Carbonic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid

    Hence the majority of carbon dioxide at geophysical or biological air-water interfaces does not convert to carbonic acid, remaining dissolved CO 2 gas. However, the uncatalyzed equilibrium is reached quite slowly: the rate constants are 0.039 s −1 for hydration and 23 s −1 for dehydration.

  6. Bjerrum plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjerrum_plot

    Example Bjerrum plot: Change in carbonate system of seawater from ocean acidification.. A Bjerrum plot (named after Niels Bjerrum), sometimes also known as a Sillén diagram (after Lars Gunnar Sillén), or a Hägg diagram (after Gunnar Hägg) [1] is a graph of the concentrations of the different species of a polyprotic acid in a solution, as a function of pH, [2] when the solution is at ...

  7. Weak base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_base

    A smaller H + concentration means a greater OH − concentration and, therefore, a greater K b and a greater pH. NaOH (s) (sodium hydroxide) is a stronger base than (CH 3 CH 2) 2 NH (l) (diethylamine) which is a stronger base than NH 3 (g) (ammonia). As the bases get weaker, the smaller the K b values become. [1]

  8. Pourbaix diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourbaix_diagram

    Pourbaix diagram of iron. [1] The Y axis corresponds to voltage potential. In electrochemistry, and more generally in solution chemistry, a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, E H –pH diagram or a pE/pH diagram, is a plot of possible thermodynamically stable phases (i.e., at chemical equilibrium) of an aqueous electrochemical system.

  9. Hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxide

    The pH of a solution is equal to the decimal cologarithm of the hydrogen cation concentration; [note 2] the pH of pure water is close to 7 at ambient temperatures. The concentration of hydroxide ions can be expressed in terms of pOH, which is close to (14 − pH), [note 3] so the pOH of pure water is also close to 7. Addition of a base to water ...
