Henderson Hasselbalch

(To the tune of “My Country ‘tis of Thee”) / Recording by David Simmons

Henderson Hasselbalch
You put my brain in shock
Oh woe is me
The pKa’s can make
Me lie in bed awake
They give me really bad headaches
Oh hear my plea

Salt – acid RA-ti-os
Help keep the pH froze
By buf-fer-ING
They show tenacity
Complete audacity
If used within capacity
To maintain things

I know when H’s fly
A buffer will defy
Them actively
Those protons cannot waltz
When they get bound to salts
With this the change in pH halts
All praise to thee

Thus now that I’ve addressed
This topic for the test
I’ve got know-how
The pH I can say
Equals the pKA
In sum with log of S o’er A
I know it now
