This equation was initially conceived as a chemical alternative to the law of mass action, but S.P.L. Sorenson's experiments on ionic interactions among amino acids led him to conclude that the concentration of hydrogen ions at any particular time could be mathematically derived.
This equation was initially conceived as a chemical alternative to the law of mass action, but S.P.L. Sorenson's experiments on ionic interactions among amino acids led him to conclude that the concentration of hydrogen ions at any particular time could be mathematically derived. This led one of this equation's formulators to conclude that the negative logarithm of the acid dissociation constant, when added to the ratio of dissociated acid to the non- dissociated acid, would yield the pH. For 10 points, name this doubly- eponymous equation in which the pKa is used to find the isoelectric point of a chemical solution.
