If you have a pH meter in your lab, you can prepare the solution by mixing two solutions - 0.1 M sodium acetate and 0.1 M acetic acid (diluted 1:174 from glacial acetic acid, which is 17.4 M). Gradually add one solution to the other in a beaker with magnetic stirring while measuring the pH until the desired pH is reached. The acetate concentration will be 0.1 M.
Another approach using the pH meter is to add glacial acetic acid dropwise to a solution of slightly higher than 0.1 M sodium acetate until pH 5 is reached, then adjust the volume to bring the sodium acetate concentration to 0.1 M.
Make sure to calibrate the pH meter with pH 4 and 7 standards before beginning. Also, since mixing solutions will cause the temperature to change, and pH is temperature-dependent, you may have to wait for the temperature to return to ambient temperature before completing the titration.
