Question
### How to Make a 0.1M Acetate Buffer Solution

#### Objective:
To create 600 mL of a 0.1M acetate buffer at pH 5.0 using 0.1M acetic acid and 0.1M sodium acetate.

#### Steps to Follow:

**a. Consider the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation**

\[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} + \log \left(\frac{[\text{base}]}{[\text{acid}]}\right) \]

- **Purpose:** Use this equation to find the necessary ratio of base to acid.
- **Given:** Desired pH is 5.0. You need to use the pKa of acetic acid.
- **Calculation Example:** Determine the ratio \([\text{base}]/[\text{acid}]\).

  \([ \text{base}]/[\text{acid}] = 2.3\) (example value; the actual ratio may differ).

**b. Establishing Equations**

- **Variable Setting:** 
  - Let \([\text{acid}] = x\)
  - \([\text{base}] = 2.3x\) (based on the example ratio)

- **Total Concentration Equation:**
  \[
  x + 2.3x = 0.1
  \]

- **Solve for \(x\):** \(x\) represents the concentration of acetic acid, from which you can also determine the concentration of the base (\([\text{base}]\)).

Make sure to adjust the calculations based on the correct ratio derived from the specific \(\text{pKa}\) and desired pH values.

**Buffer Preparation using M1V1 = M2V2 Equation**

To determine the volume of 0.1M acetic acid and 0.1M sodium acetate required for creating a buffer, use the equation M1V1 = M2V2.

1. **M1** = 0.1M of acetic acid or 0.1M sodium acetate (stock solution).
2. **V1** = Volume to solve for.
3. **M2** = The concentration of acid or base calculated in step 4b.
4. **V2** = The desired buffer volume, which is 600 mL.

This equation allows you to calculate how much stock solution (V1) is needed to achieve a specific concentration (M2) in a desired final volume (V2).
