Acetic Acid and Sodium Acetate Buffer System

CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO− + H+

概要

The acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer system resists pH changes by shifting equilibrium in response to added acid or base. When acid is added, acetate ions consume H⁺; when base is added, acetic acid donates H⁺. This buffer is most effective near pH 4.75 (the pKa of acetic acid). The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation governs the buffer pH.
