Note to players: the answer to this tossup is a function, like sine or the gamma function, but not those.
Note to players: the answer to this tossup is a function, like sine or the gamma function, but not those. One equation involving this function modifies another equation by including steric effects of substituents. This function of reaction rate plotted against this function of the equilibrium constant for a series of acids gives a line according to the Bronsted catalysis equation. Chemical potential is equal to k times (*) T times this function of fugacity, and Gibbs free energy is equal to negative R times T times this function of the equilibrium constant. An expression involving this function is set equal to sigma times rho in the Hammett equation. This function is applied to a ratio of molarities in the Henderson-Hasselbach equation. For 10 points, name this function that when applied to the concentration of hydrogen ions gives the negative pH.
