A pH Measurement of Acetic Acid-Sodium Acetate Buffer Solutions Using a pH Meter at Ambient Temperature

In article, we have reported the preparation of acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solutions and determined its pH by using pH meter at about 25˚ C, as room temperature. In preparation of buffer solutions, firstly, we have taken 1.5 ml of glacial acetic acid into 100 ml of standard flask for making up 0.2M of acetic acid solution, and 0.64 gm of sodium acetate were dissolved into 100 ml distilled water. Then, taken 36.2 ml prepared solution of sodium acetate into 100 ml of standard flask and added 14.8 ml of prepared acetic acid to make its volume 100 ml by using distilled water, it is a buffer. In measuring the pH of prepared buffer solutions, we have been using a calibrated digital pen pH meter for quick resolution of reading with accuracy. The pH of acetic acid-acetate buffer solutions have gradually raised by adding small quantity of 5N NaOH solution into buffer sample, and adjusted pH was being to 4.7.
