Why pH of sodium acetate is always adjusted with glacial acetic acid only?
in order to form acetate/acetic acid buffer solution!
When Dr. Farrell was a graduate student he once made up a pH 8.0 sodium acetate buffer. Why would the casual observer to this buffering faux pas come to the conclusion that he?
Not exactly sure what the question is asking, but sodium acetate will not buffer at pH 8. It is an ok buffer in the pH range of maybe 3-5 or so. Acetic acid is the weak acid of this buffer with a pKa near 10^-5. To make a decent buffer at pH 8, one needs a weak base, or a weak acid with a pKa closer to 8.
Tris buffer as pH by HCl why not for sodium acetate?
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 happens when hcl is added to ch3cooh and ch3coo- buffer system?
The hydronium concentration is essentially soaked up by the buffer system. Being that there is an equilibrium of acetic acid and acetate ion, the acetate ion will soak up an H+ from the HCl, and then the equilibrium of acetic acid to acetate ion shifts in favor of the acetate, because its concentration is lowered. The result is that the change in pH is dramatically lower than would normally be expected by adding HCl to deionized water.
Is HCl a pH buffer?
No, it is not a buffer.
Sodium acetate buffer?
can I make sodium acetate buffer 0.2M Ph=5 whit sodium acetate buffer 3m Ph=5 solution?
Why does the pH of an acetate buffer increases after dilution with water?
The pH of water is approximatly 7 (a neutral pH), and the acetate buffer has an acidic pH (less than 7) so when you add distilled water to the buffer the pH will increase.
How do you adjust pH of ammonium acetate solution to?
the pH of ammonium acetate buffer can be adjusted with glacial acetic acid (concentrate or diluted )
What is the role of sodium acetate buffer in casein estimation from milk?
pH of sodium acetate buffer is 4.6 and most of the proteins have 4.8 isoelectric pH (pI), so buffer maintains the pI of casein in the casein estimation from milk
Why acetate buffer is used while isolating casein from milk?
pH of sodium acetate buffer is 4.6 and most of the proteins have 4.8 isoelectric pH (pI), so buffer maintains the pI of casein in the casein estimation from milk

What is the pH of a buffer made from 10 ml of sodium acetate mixed with 1 ml of acetic acid?
In order to find the pH, one needs to know the CONCENTRATIONS of the sodium acetate and the acetic acid. Knowing the volumes is not enough information.

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.
How do you prepare acetate buffer pH 3.5?
Dissolve 25g of Ammonium acetate in 25ml of water and add 38ml of 7M hydrochloric acid. Adjust the pH of the solution to 3.5 with either 2M hydrochloric acid or 6M ammonia and dilute with water to 100ml
