Calculate the expected buffer capacity of the acetate buffer based on the number of moles of CH3CO2H in the buffer. (hint, you know the concentration and volume) In other words, how many moles of NaOH are needed to break the buffer? Does the measured buffer capacity of acetate buffer (20mL) meet your expectations?
