In the first experiment you prepared a buffer by combining solutions of acetic acid and sodium acetate. a) (1 point) Write the chemical equation for the equilibrium of acetic acid and acetate in water. Include the states of the reactants.

b) (1 point) Write a net ionic equation that shows how this buffer neutralizes added acid (HCl).

c) (1 point) Write a net ionic equation that shows how this buffer neutralizes added base (NaOH).
