Aplicações do logaritmo na química

Abstract

This final paper addresses the application of logarithms in Chemistry, highlightingtheir importance in essential calculations such as the 𝑝𝐻 of solutions, chemicalkinetics, and chemical equilibrium. Initially, a brief historical review of logarithms,their development, and fundamental concepts is presented. Next, the use oflogarithms in the calculation of 𝑝𝐻 is explored, demonstrating how thismathematical function facilitates the expression of the concentration of hydrogenions in aqueous solutions. The study also analyzes the use of logarithms indetermining rate constants in chemical reactions and in the calculation ofequilibrium constants, highlighting the relevance of Mathematics in scientificcontexts. Finally, the paper reinforces the interconnection between Mathematicsand Chemistry, highlighting the applicability of logarithms as an indispensable toolfor understanding and solving complex chemical problems.
