A CH₃COOH/CH₃COO^- buffer can be produced by adding a strong acid to a solution of CH₃COO^- ions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CH₃COOH molecule is a weak acid and will partially dissociate in water to form CH₃COO^- ions and H+ ions. Adding a strong acid to this solution will shift the equilibrium towards the non-dissociated CH₃COOH molecule, resulting in a buffer solution consisting of both CH₃COOH and CH₃COO^- ions.
