The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is a mathematical formula used to describe the relationship between the pH of a solution, the concentration of an acid, and its conjugate base. In biological systems, this equation helps explain how buffers regulate pH levels to maintain homeostasis. The equation is given by: [ \text{pH} = \text{pK}_a + \log \left( \frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]} \right) ] Where (\text{pH}) is the measure of
