The video discusses the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, which is used to calculate the pH of buffers or the concentration of species in a buffer. It explains two types of problems: one with known pH, pKa, and total buffer concentration, and another with known species concentrations and pKa. The video provides a proof that when pH equals pKa, the concentrations of conjugate acid and base are equal, using logarithmic properties. It concludes with a preview of the next video, which will cover direct pH calculations.
