1. Find the Molar concentration of HC2H3O2 (M)
-I'm not sure if each buffers affect the molar concentration, but I searched up the normal molar concentration for HC2H3O2 and found that it is 0.8527 M. Can anyone confirm that or steer me in the right direction on how to solve for the molar concentration?


2. Using Excel, prepare two charts, each with two series, from your data.
Create a separate chart for your titrations using NaOH with a series plotting your
titration with Buffer A and a series plotting your titration with Buffer B.
Do the same with your titrations using HCl.
-I think I understand how to make the graphs: there will be 4 separate graphs, Buffer A - NaOH, Buffer A - HCl, Buffer B - NaOH & Buffer B - HCl. Please give me any advice if my thought process is on the right track.


3. Write reaction equations to explain how your acetic acid-acetate buffer reacts with an acid and reacts with a base.

4. Buffer capacity has a rather loose definition, yet it is an important property of buffers. A commonly seen definition of buffer capacity is: “The amount of H+ or OH– that can be neutralized before the pH changes to a significant degree.”
We will consider 2 pH units to be significant. Use your data and your charts to determine the buffer capacity of Buffer A and Buffer B.

-I don't expect anyone to do the work for me (especially for the graphs), just please give me advice on where to start, any formulas that may help, etc.  Confounded Face

Also, I found a lab that contains many of the same elements as your question.

First of all, I'd like to thank you so much for helping me and finding a similar lab!!
I'd like to ask one more thing about finding the buffer capacity. So, as I was filling out my website I have to use in order to submit my work is asking extra questions that were not in my lab manual:

I did the calculations based on the advice you gave me and ended up with Buffer A= 4.72*10-4 and Buffer B= 4.63*10-3. But I am not sure if those calculations would be for the NaOH or HCl treatment if that makes sense.

@Annonn, what did you get for the molar concentration? I will need that to verify your answers

Buffer A= 0.1 and Buffer B= 1.0

Ok, let's assume your data looks like this:



The calculations would look like this:



I can provide you with another example if you like, but this should sum it up
