You got a solution whose #pH=4.73#. Neither the molarity, nor the #pH# changes if the concentration remains the same...

Explanation:

Any volume you take of this solution retains this #pH#. Of course a SMALLER volume of this buffer will not have a large buffer capacity, but this is immaterial....And remember molarity is #"moles of solute"/"volume of solvent"#...this is a property of the bulk solution, not just its volume....i.e. units of #"moles of solute per litre of solution...."#
