What is the distribution of the pKa from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation given log-normal concentrations?
Background
The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is given by
$$\text{pH} = \text{pK}_{\text{a}} + \log_{10} \left( \frac{[\text{Base}]}{[\text{Acid}]} \right)$$
where $\text{pH} = -\log [\text{H}^+]$. ...
