Preparation of buffers

 PREPARATION OF ACETATE BUFFER

Aim

To prepare 0.1M acetate buffer of pH 4.

Procedure

Stock solution A : 0.2M solution of acetic acid 

Stock solution B : 0.2M solution of sodium acetate

 Mix 41 ml of A and 9ml of B and diluted to a total of 100ml using distilled water. Measure pH using pH meter.

 PREPARATION OF CARBONATE BICARBONATE BUFFER

Aim

To prepare 0.1M carbonate and bicarbonate buffer of pH 10.

Procedure

Stock solution A : 0.2M solution of anhydrous sodium carbonate 

Stock solution B : 0.2M solution of sodium bicarbonate

Mix 27.5 ml of A and 22.5ml of B and diluted to a total of 100ml using distilled water. Measure pH using pH meter. Confirm the pH using pH meter.
