The question is in poorly worded. I will assume the question is "why adjust the pH of Tris buffer with HCl and not Sodium Acetate?" I would assume the answer is - because sodium acetate is the conjugate base of a weak acid, and HCl is a strong acid. Also the salts you would be putting into the solution as a result would be different.
I think the question is actually, "The pH of Tris is adjusted with HCl, why isn't the pH of sodium acetate adjusted with HCl?". I'm not sure of the answer exactly, but I've always assumed its because if you adjust the pH with glacial acetic acid instead of HCl, you won't introduce chloride ions.

What is Tris HCl?
"Tris" is a chemical compound used as a buffer. The full name is tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. Tris has the ability to absorb counter ions (+H and -OH) so as to help keep the solution that they are in at a stable pH level. When the pH of Tris is set using HCl (hydrochloric acid) the buffer is called Tris HCl.
How do you prepare 20 mM tris hcl buffer pH 7.4?

Is HCl and sodium citrate a buffer system?
no
What is the difference between TAE buffer and TE buffer?
The main difference is in composition. In TE common Tris buffer is bring down to pH 8 with HCl and EDTA is involved but in TAE instead of Tris HCl in TE Tris-acetate buffer is used.
Why you used sodium acetate in osazone test?
Anhydrous sodium acetate is added to buffer the phenylhydrazine HCl so that it may function properly. Regards mawaisnawaz@hotmail.com
