A solution was prepared with 100 ml of 0.1 mol/L acetic acid and 100 ml of 0.1 mol/l sodium acetate. The density of acetic acid is 1.05 g/mL

Calculate the required volumes of each to prepare 25 mL of a buffer solution PH = 5.0. and calculate the PH. Data: Acetic acid pKa = 4.75

Wallace, your post is confusing. It start with A solution which tells me that the acetic acid and the sodium acetate are mixed BUT the question says to calculate the volumes of EACH which tells me they are two separate solutions. Please clear this up for me and tell me at the same time what you know about the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
