Question: I need to prepare a buffer with 100 mL of 0.15 M acetate at pH 4.1 using 1 M acetic acid and 1 M NaOH.

I need to prepare a buffer with 100 mL of 0.15 M acetate at pH 4.1 using 1 M acetic acid and 1 M NaOH. Calculate the amount of the two components needed to prepare the buffer using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Hint: you are using a weak acid and a strong base to generate the conjugate base. So, in this case the calculation will be slightly different.
