Expert Solution

To calculate the specific pH of a given buffer, you need to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for acidic buffers: "pH = pKa + log10([A-]/[HA])," where Ka is the "dissociation constant" for the weak acid, [A-] is the concentration of conjugate base and [HA] is the concentration of the weak acid.

The pKa value is one method used to indicate the strength of an acid. pKa is the negative log of the acid dissociation constant or Ka value. A lower pKa value indicates a stronger acid. That is, the lower value indicates the acid more fully dissociates in water.
