Titration Calculations and Concepts

The video tutorial continues the discussion on titration, focusing on calculating pH in different regions. It explains the buffer zone using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and highlights the significance of the half equivalence point, where pH equals pKa. The tutorial then moves to the equivalence point, explaining how to determine pH through salt hydrolysis, particularly for sodium acetate. The process involves using an ICE table and calculating the Kb value to find the hydroxide concentration, leading to the final pH value.

What equation is used to calculate pH in the buffer zone?
