pH = pKa + log [AH]
pH of the buffer mixture depends on:
kind of the acid ratio of the concentrations of buffer components
pH of the buffer mixtures does not change with dilution of the solution!

Buffer solutions – mechanism of action
acetate buffer: CH3COOH i CH3COO-
at equilibrium: CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+
CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+
acetic acid is a weak acid, acetate ions come entirely from salt (acetate)
add some amount of strong acid: +H+
CH3COOH CH3COO- + H+
strong acid removes weak acid from its salt
10
Buffer capacity
c =
pH – buffer capacity
c – amount of strong acid or strong base added to the buffer solution mol/L
pH – observed change of pH
Buffer capacity depends on concentration of components:
increases with their increment decreases with dilution of the buffer
11
Buffer capacity
is the highest when pH = pK
Excess of acid in the buffer – better buffering of bases
Excess of a salt – better buffering of acids.
During addition of acid or base buffer capacity decreases is equal to zero when whole salt in the buffer is converted to weak
acid or whole weak acid is converted to salt.

Hemoglobin buffer
14
Hemoglobin buffer is the most important proteinate buffer
1. Hemoglobin makes about ¾ of all blood’s protein
2. Hemoglobin has an acidic character because of the presence of majority of acidic groups of hem over basic groups of globins. Therefore, hemoglobin (Hb) has a large capacity for base binding.
3. Acidity of hemoglobin changes significantly with degree of oxidation.
Hemoglobin transports not only oxygen from lungs to cells but also carbon dioxide from cells to lungs.
15
Proteinate buffer-hemoglobin buffer
Hemoglobine buffer is an intracellular buffer.
The Hb and oxygen connection is reversible and the Hb molecule changes
its conformation when it binds O2.
HHb (Hb without oxygen) and HHbO2 (Hb connected with oxygen, oxy-
hemoglobin) differ in their ability to donate or accept H+ ions.
HbO2 + H+ HHb + O2 In tissues
stronger acid weaker acid
HHb + O2 + HCO3- HbO2 + H2O + CO2 In Lungs
Buffering properties depend on the equilibrium between oxy-hemoglobinand hemoglobin.Hemoglobin is less acidic than oxy-hemoglobin.With increasing CO2 pressure and H+ concentration, the amount of HHb increasesand buffering capacity increases as well.
16
Proteinate buffer
In acidic environment: carboxyl groups of amino acids do not dissociate basic groups (amine, imidasole) are proton acceptors
In basic environment: carboxyl groups are proton donors and they neutralize hydroxide ions in weak basic environment - pH 7,4, proteins are in form of anions.
concentration of proteins in the blood is 16 mEq/l
Buffer capacity of proteinate buffer is:5 mmols/ l/one pH unit

hemoglobin is an important buffer in blood hemoglobin makes ¾ of whole proteins in the blood. hemoglobin is acidic because of excess of acidic groups of
heme over basic groups from globin. acidity of hemoglobin can change depending on oxygenation It is indispensable for full effectiveness of carbonate buffer
in an open system

Phosphate buffer – important urinary buffer
phosphate buffer in blood :
H2PO4- HPO4
2- + H+
KH2PO4- = 6,2 x 10-8, pK2 = 7,21
HPO42- / H2PO4- = 4/1
phosphate buffer in urine:
HPO42- / H2PO4
- = 1/4
HPO42- + H+ H2PO4-
main intracellular buffer optimal pK for this buffer is
6,8. in phosphate buffer in urine
(pH about 6,0) ratio of hydrogen phosphate to dihydrogen phosphate is 1/4
Difference between ratios of phosphates in blood and urine is because hydrogen phosphate of urine binds protons secreted by distal tubules of kidneys and is converted to dihydrogen phosphate.
19
Bicarbonate buffer – an extracellular buffer; in equilibrium with atmospheric air.
The most important buffer sytem in the blood is:
HCO3-/H2CO3
organism removes by lungs a product of dehydration of carbonic acid - carbon dioxide.
This buffer acts in an open system.
H2CO3 i CO2 dissolved in water phase remain at equilibrium with CO2 which is in gasous phase.
CO2 in blood circulating in lungs remains at equilibrium with CO2 in lung vesicles.
buffer in an open system has several times higher capacity in comparison to a closed system

The kidneys regulate HCO-3 ion concentration in blood plasma and protect the
organism against metabolic acidosis.The role of kidneys is:• reabsorption of HCO-
3 ions in kidney tubules
• excretion of HCO-3 ions when their level changes in extracellular fluid
• regeneration of lost HCO-3 ions or in reactions with H+ derived from water
(in proximal tubular cells and collecting tubule cells)

Too much acid in the body resulting from accumulation of acid or depletion of alkaline reserves leads to acidosis – abnormally low pH.
May be caused by : diabetic ketoacidosis, lung disease, kidney disease.
The condition opposite to acidosis is – alkalosis – pH is to high due toexcess base or insufficient acid in the body.
