This lab seeks to create an effective buffer with a specific pH value which has the ability to be applied in different fields whether it be for consumers or experiments. Buffer are solutions of a weak acid and its strong conjugate base. The addition of an acid to a buffer causes the equilibrium to shift to the left due to the buffer attaching to the H+ ions which keep the amount of hydronium from increasing. The addition of a base to the buffer causes the equilibrium to shift to the right as hydronium reacts with the base creating water leading to the need to replace the hydronium that was neutralized. Through the creation of acetate buffers with varying amounts of HA and A-, different solutions of acid and base can be added to determine the
