3. You need to prepare 100 mL of a 0.200 M acetate buffer at pH 5.00. The pka of acetic acid is 4.756 and the density of liquid acetic acid is 1.049 g/mL. You have pure liquid acetic acid (CH3CO2H; FW = 60.05 g/mol) and pure sodium acetate trihydrate (Na+CH3CO²- 3 H₂O; FW = 136.08 g/mol) available to you to prepare the buffer. a. Calculate the volume (in mL) of liquid acetic acid that must be added to the 100 mL volumetric flask. b. Calculate the mass (in grams) of sodium acetate that you would need to add to the 100 mL flask to prepare 100 mL of a pH 5.00 acetate buffer.

3. You need to prepare 100 mL of a 0.200 M acetate buffer at pH 5.00. The pka of
acetic acid is 4.756 and the density of liquid acetic acid is 1.049 g/mL. You have pure
liquid acetic acid (CH3CO2H; FW = 60.05 g/mol) and pure sodium acetate trihydrate
(Na+CH3CO²- 3 H₂O; FW = 136.08 g/mol) available to you to prepare the buffer.
a. Calculate the volume (in mL) of liquid acetic acid that must be added to the 100 mL
volumetric flask.
b. Calculate the mass (in grams) of sodium acetate that you would need to add to the
100 mL flask to prepare 100 mL of a pH 5.00 acetate buffer.
c. If you only had the pure liquid acetic acid and 1.0 M NaOH available to you to
prepare the buffer, what volume (in mL) of 1.0 M NaOH that must be added to what
the volume (in mL) of liquid acetic acid to create the appropriate buffer?
