Henderson

Henderson refers to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, a formula used in chemistry and medicine to estimate the pH of a buffer solution—an environment that resists changes in acidity. It relates the pH to the concentration of an acid and its conjugate base in the solution: essentially showing how the ratio of these two components influences acidity. This equation is useful for understanding blood pH regulation and designing buffer systems in laboratories, helping predict how changes in component levels will affect acidity or alkalinity in a given environment.
