Answer #1

1)

CH3COOH and CH3COONa fom the acidic buffer system .

             pH = pKa + log [CH3COONa ]/ [ CH3COOH]

when the acid is added , thenumber of moles of CH3COOH increases and thenumber of moles of the salt decreases.

             CH3COONa + HCl    CH3COOH + NaCl

when the base isadded the number of moles of the salt(CH3COONa)increases and the number of moles of the acid (CH3COOH)decreases.

               CH3COOH + NaOH    CH3COONa   + H2O
