Buffer inquiry lab

You will create a buffer in two different ways using the following chemicals.
 0.10 M acetic acid, HC2H3O2, Ka= 1.75 x 10-5
 Solid sodium acetate NaC2H3O2
 0.10 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH

To create the buffers,

(1) Must contain 10 mL of HC2H3O2 solution.
(2) The buffer must have a pH of 4.76

In the space provided, come up with a plan. You must include all amounts used of chemical
used. When finished, come check the pH of the buffer solution with me. I will initial if you are
close enough to the pH.
