The ratio of [sodium acetate] to [acetic acid] in a buffer solution is 0.30.

Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: pH = pKa + log(cs/ck)

pH = 4.25; pH of buffer solution

pKa = -log(1.7 × 10−5) = 4.77

4.25 = 4.77 + log(cs/ck)

log(cs/ck) =4.25 - 4.77 = -0.52

cs/ck = 10∧(-0.52) = 0.30; ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.

Floor wax is applied on floor surfaces to make it scuff-resistant, water-resistant, slip resistant and glossy. It provides a thin, protective and hard surface layer when applied to flooring. Conventional floor wax has five main ingredients and each one of them has detrimental effects on the environment, not to mention the chemical waste created by the continuous upkeep required. The cumulative effects of these ingredients on the environmental render their harmful actions more potent and difficult to reverse.
