once made up a pH 8.0 sodium acetate buffer.
Why would the casual observer to this buffering

What's the pKa for acetic acid. I think it's about 4.74. Acetic acid/acetate buffer will work best at 4.74 +/- 1 pH unit and 8 is far removed from that. It would not buffer at that pH. But thanks for the "QUOTE". I haven't heard that one before.
