Do you use moles or molarity in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation?

Answered

The equation uses the ratio of concentrations (molarity) of the conjugate base and the weak acid. Since both species are in the same solution, their volumes cancel out, making the use of molarity appropriate. Using molarity ensures consistency and accuracy in pH calculations.
