How many grams of sodium acetate (CH3CO2Na, Mw =82.0 g/mole) should be present in 1.0 L of 0.65 mole acetic acid (CH3CO2H) solution to achieve a buffer of pH = 4.47? K = 1.78 × 10 for benzoic acid. Please keep your answer to one decimal place.
What is the pH at which a buffer composed of NH3 and NH4+ would be most effective at resisting pH change? Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Remember you can find KA and/or KB values

Your goal is to make a buffer with a pH of 4.75 from acetic acid and sodium acetate. Assume the pKa for acetic acid is 4.74. What is the volume of 1 M sodium acetate added to make your buffer? Report your answer to the tenths place. To do this, we use the Henderson-Hasselbach Equation pH = pkA + log (base/acid) where pkA = 4.74 for acetic acid, pH = target pH and [base] /[acid] = x/(1-x) since we don't know the concentration of the base, we will call it x the acid is just 1-x, assuming the two add up to 100% solve for x, and then you know the mL of base and acid to add.
Imagine you are working in the lab, and your labmate Jordan has challenged you to figure out which one of the following acetic acid/sodium acetate buffer solutions has the greatest buffering capacity at a pH above 4.74. pKa(acetic acid) = 4.74. Can you pick the solution with the highest buffering capacity at a pHabove 4.74? pKa(acetic acid) ? 0.36 M acetic acid and 0.12 M sodium acetate 0.16 M acetic acid and 0.12 M sodium acetate 0.36 M acetic acid and 0.22 M sodium acetate 0.16 M acetic acid and 0.22 M sodium acetate
I know that the correct answer is a. But I just don't how to get to the correct answer.
Hello, I don't know where I'm going wrong. I'm using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. I've attempted three time with no success. Could you break down this problem so I can spot where I am going wrong? Thank you. Screenshot of problem is attached.

Ok, so the system I am using for my homework said that my answer is wrong. This is the second time I asked a follow-up question in hopes I would get the corrected answer. The first follow-up question is still being reviewed. So I have attached what they said was wrong to this question in hopes that it might help solve the whole equation. Thank you
A 150 mL solution of NaOH is titrated with HI. Phenol red is the indicator, which is red at high pH values and yellow at low pH values. The indicator be [ Select ] when you first put it into your analyte, before any titrant is added. The indicator will be [ Select] at the endpoint. The indicator will be [Select] V if you overshoot the endpoint and add too much acid.
for pH titration lab! please help
