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.

0.1 molar acetate buffer of pH 4 was prepared and confirmed by measuring pH using pH meter.
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.
