Many chemical reactions are carried out in the presence of buffers. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to provide a recommendation for a suitable acete/acetic acid buffer under the following reaction conditions.  a) If a checial reaction produces hydroxide ion, OH-, what would be the range for the target pH of a buffer soution that would favor pH stabilizatoin under these conditions? Explain.
