How do you deduce what the concentration of a particular species of an amino 
acid is if you are given the pH and concentration of the solution.  I know 
you're supposed to use the Henderson-Hasselbach equation, but that only gives 
ratios.  I guess my question is how do you turn that ratio into a precise 
concentration of one particular species. (i.e. Given pH4, 0.1M arginine, what 
is the concentration of R^2+, how much is R^1+, R^0)
