A chemistry student needs to prepare a buffer solution with a pH of 7.2 using acetic acid (CH3COOH) and sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The student has 100 mL of 0.1 M acetic acid and 100 mL of 0.1 M sodium acetate. What volume of each solution do they need to mix to prepare the desired buffer solution with a total volume of 500 mL?
