A student was given buffer solutions to calibrate the pH electrode that were labeled incorrectly. The pH's of both buffer solutions were actually lower than the pH's shown on the labels. Explain how such an error would affect the experimental result for the Ka of acetic acid.

Say you are given a buffer at 25 C in pH 6.881. The glass combination electrode gave a reading of -18.3 mV. When it was placed in a pH 4.002 buffer at 25 C, this same electrode gave a reading of +146.3 mV. What is the electromotive efficiency of the glass electrode? (3 sig figs)

500ml of an HTS/TS- buffer (pKa = 5.25) at pH 4 was prepared. Unfortunately, the student who had prepared the buffer forgot how many moles of HTS and TS- he had added. Although HTS does not fluoresce, TS- does fluoresce. (If = 1000CTS). The intensity of the fluorescence signal from the buffer is 10. How many moles of HTS and TS- were used to prepare 500ml of the pH 4 buffer?
