||Welcome to this spoken tutorial on '''Buffer Solutions'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| 00:05&lt;br /&gt;
||In this tutorial we will learn, to prepare 0.5 M '''Acetate buffer''' of pH 3.6 and  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
test the buffering action with small amounts of acid and base. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:18&lt;br /&gt;
||To follow this tutorial you should be familiar with, '''ChemCollective Vlabs interface'''. &lt;br /&gt;

||If not, for relevant tutorials please visit our website. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:30&lt;br /&gt;
||Here I am using &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mac OS version 10.10.5 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ChemCollective Vlabs version 2.1.0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:39&lt;br /&gt;
||Java version  8.0. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:41&lt;br /&gt;
||Here I have opened '''Virtual Chemistry Labs''' application window. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:46&lt;br /&gt;
||Click on '''File''' menu, and select '''Load homework''' option. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Default Lab setup''' dialog box opens. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||00:55&lt;br /&gt;
||Double-click on '''Acids and Bases''' folder. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on '''Buffer Creation Problem'''. &lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:02&lt;br /&gt;
||The required chemicals for this experiment are provided in the '''Stockroom Explorer'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me demonstrate how to make '''Acetate buffer''' solution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:12&lt;br /&gt;
||A '''buffer solution''', is composed of a weak acid or weak base and its '''conjugate salt'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:19&lt;br /&gt;
||Its pH changes very little when a small amount of acid or base is added to it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:26&lt;br /&gt;
||'''Henderson–Hasselbalch''' equation is useful for estimating the pH of a buffer solution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:33&lt;br /&gt;
||Please refer to the excellent tutorial on buffers at the following link. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:38&lt;br /&gt;
||To prepare '''Acetate buffer''' of a particular '''pH''', '''Acetic acid''' and '''Sodium acetate''' are mixed in various proportions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||01:46&lt;br /&gt;
||To prepare 50 ml of '''pH 3.6 Acetate buffer'''- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have to mix 46.3 ml of  0.1 M '''Acetic acid''' and  3.7 ml of '''Sodium acetate'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:01&lt;br /&gt;
||Back to the '''Workbench'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let us retrieve the chemicals and apparatus required for this experiment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:09&lt;br /&gt;
||From the '''Stockroom Explorer''' click on '''water''',  1M '''Sodium acetate''' and 1M '''Acetic acid'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:18&lt;br /&gt;
||From '''Glassware cabinet''' retrieve, '''250 ml Erlenmeyer flask, 50 ml graduated cylinder'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:28&lt;br /&gt;
||Make the duplicates of all the apparatus. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rename  '''graduated cylinders''' as G1 and G2. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
|| 02:39&lt;br /&gt;
||Rename '''Erlenmeyer flasks''' as A1 and A2. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:46&lt;br /&gt;
||Let us prepare 0.5 M '''Acetic acid''' by diluting '''1 M Acetic acid'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||02:53&lt;br /&gt;
||Measure 50 ml of Acetic acid in the graduated cylinder G1. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:02&lt;br /&gt;
||Pour the contents of the '''graduated cylinder G1'''  into '''Erlenmeyer flask A1'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:11&lt;br /&gt;
||Measure 50 ml of water using the same '''graduated cylinder'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:18&lt;br /&gt;
||Pour water into '''Erlenmeyer flask A1'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:24&lt;br /&gt;
||Click on flask '''A1''' and note the '''pH'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It shows a pH of  '2.53''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:32&lt;br /&gt;
||Similarly prepare 0.5 M '''Sodium acetate''' solution. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:38&lt;br /&gt;
||Measure 50 ml of 1M '''Sodium acetate''' solution in '''graduated cylinder G2'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:47&lt;br /&gt;
||Transfer this solution into '''Erlenmeyer flask A2'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||03:54&lt;br /&gt;
||Measure 50 ml of water using the same '''graduated cylinder'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:01&lt;br /&gt;
||Pour water from '''graduated cylinder''' into '''Erlenmeyer flask A2'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:08&lt;br /&gt;
||Click on flask A2, note the pH. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
It shows a pH of 9.23. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:16&lt;br /&gt;
||We now have 0.5 M of  '''Acetic acid''' and 0.5 M '''Sodium acetate''' solutions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:23&lt;br /&gt;
||Retrieve a '''250 ml beaker''' from the '''glassware cabinet'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:28&lt;br /&gt;
||Transfer  46.3 ml of  0.5 M '''Acetic acid''' into the beaker. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:35&lt;br /&gt;
||Bring flask A1 over to the beaker. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:39&lt;br /&gt;
||Type 46.3 in the '''Transfer amount''' input bar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on Pour. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:46&lt;br /&gt;
||Transfer  3.7ml of 0.5 M '''Sodium Acetate''' into the beaker. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:53&lt;br /&gt;
||Bring flask A2 over to the beaker. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||04:56&lt;br /&gt;
||Type  3.7 in the '''Transfer amount''' input bar. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on Pour. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||05:04&lt;br /&gt;
||Click on the beaker, check the pH in the '''PH Meter'''. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
pH is shown as 3.66. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||05:13&lt;br /&gt;
||We now have an '''acetate buffer''' solution of pH 3.66. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||05:19&lt;br /&gt;

||05:43&lt;br /&gt;
||We will have to dilute, 1M hydrochloric acid(HCl) and 1M sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to 0.1 M hydrochloric acid(HCl) and  0.1 M sodium hydroxide(NaOH). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
|- &lt;br /&gt;
||05:56&lt;br /&gt;
||Retrieve two sets of- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
