A biochemist needs $750 \mathrm{~mL}$ of an acetic acid-sodium ?cetate buffer with pH 4.50. Solid sodium acetatè $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}\right)$ and glacial acetic acid $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\right)$ are available Glacial acetic acid is $99 \% \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$ by mass and has a density of $1.05 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mL}$. If the buffer is to be $0.15 \mathrm{M}$ in $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}$, how many grams of $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}$ and how many milliliters of glacial acetic acid must be used?
