You are tasked with making a buffer solution containing equal amounts of propionic acid from a 99.5 wt% solution (d = 0.993 g/mL, FW = 74.08 g/mol) and sodium propionate (solid, FW = 96.06 g/mol). What concentration of the buffer must be prepared to prevent a change in the pH by more than 0.5 pH units after the addition of 10.00 mL of 3.00 M HCl to 100.0 mL of the buffer solution? The Ka for propionic acid is 1.76 x 10-5.
