A buffer is created using 100.0 mL of 0.1000 M acetic acid and 1.36 g sodium acetate trihydrate.
1. Calculate the buffer composition from the volume and molarity of the acetic acid and moles of sodium acetate that were added.
2. Calculate the theoretical pH of the buffer using the HH equation and the known pKa for acetic acid (4.74).
