how to prepare an acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer of pH=5 but whose ionic strength is 0.1 from 0.1M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer of pH=5?
-
You have to show you attempts at solving the problem to receive help, this is a forum policy.

What do you know about ionic strength and pKa values?
-
On acetic acid-sodium acetate, there are CH3COO-,CH3+, Na+,H+ ions
0.1=1/2 [(C(+1)^2+C(-1)^2+C(+1)^2+C(-1)^2 )]
0.1=2C
C=0.05 mol dm^(-3)
CV=K
0.1mol dm^(-3)×V1=0.05 mol dm^(-3)×V2
V2/V1 =2
Make 0.05M Acetic acid/Sodium acetate buffer by taking a specific volume of the buffer and diluting buffer 2 times to achieve 0.05M.
Is this correct way of preparing an acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer of the same pH and I=0.1?
-
For electrolyte of type 1:1 (sodium acetate) good approximation for I is c(sodium acetate). The acetic acid in this solution dissociates much less than 1 %.
What does mean CH3 ?
-
There is no such thing as a CH33 ion in an acetate buffer.
-
OMG sorry there is no CH3 lol
only CH3COO-, Na+,H+ ions exists

0.1=1/2 [(C(+1)^2+C(-1)^2+C(+1)^2]
0.1=3C
C=0.034 mol dm^(-3)
CV=K
0.1mol dm^(-3)×V1=0.034 mol dm^(-3)×V2
V2/V1 =2.94
Make 0.05M Acetic acid/Sodium acetate buffer by taking a specific volume of the buffer and diluting buffer 2.94 times to achieve 0.034M.

There is something wrong with this statement. Buffer with I=0.1 will contain ~0.1 M sodium acetate.
0.1M acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer of pH=5 shows ionic strength ~0.06 to 0.07. To change its ionic strength to 0.1 not changing pH you should add both sodium acetate and acetic and calculations will be quite difficult.
-
Sometimes an electrolyte is added to increase the ionic strength. Sodium chloride would be one possibility.

But then pH will change slightly (~0.02 ?)
-
AWK,
Are you referring to the change in pKa due to change in ionic strength? If so, then I agree that pH will change.
-
Can someone please show me how do calculate it? I never done it! At least give me a link to how to solve this problem!

In the second post of this thread Borek gave you link to his lecture on buffers.
Read this chapter carefully.
