You are asked to prepare 500. mL 0.200 M acetate buffer at pH 5.00 using only pure acetic acid (MW = 60.05 g/mol, $pK_a = 4.76$), 3.00 M NaOH, and water.
How many grams of acetic acid will be needed to prepare the 500. mL buffer? Note that the given concentration of acetate refers to the concentration of all acetate species in solution.
