You will need to make 50X TAE so that you can do gel electrophoresis. One of the ingredients is 0.5 M EDTA pH = 8.0. 
EDTA stands for disodium ethylenediamindetratraacetate•2(H2O). This EDTA solution will be provided to you. However, you should know how it was made, and the following two questions address this.

3. Determine the amount of EDTA needed to prepare 100 ml of 0.5 M EDTA pH = 8.0. The EDTA MW = 372.2 g/mole

4. As EDTA dissolves in water, the [H+] will increase (note that full name of EDTA includes "acetate"). To increase to a pH = 8.0, would you need to add HCl or NaOH?
