    The Henderson-Hasselbalch approximation is for conjugate acid-base pairs in a buffered solution. We're going to call HA a weak acid, and A - its conjugate base. The equation is as follows:

    pH = pKa + log ([base]/[acid]), where the brackets imply concentrations

    Plugging in our symbols and the pKa value, the equation becomes:

    pH = 4.874 + log ([A-]/[HA])
