    Which of the following will produce a buffer solution when mixed in equal volumes?

    A) \[0.1\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}N{{H}_{4}}OH\,\text{and}\,\text{0}\text{.1}\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}HCl\]

    B) \[0.5\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}N{{H}_{4}}OH\,\text{and}\,\text{0}\text{.1}mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}HCl\]

    C) \[0.1\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}N{{H}_{4}}OH\,\text{and}\,\text{0}\text{.5}\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}HCl\]

    D) \[0.1\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}C{{H}_{3}}COONa\,\text{and}\,\text{0}\text{.1}\,mol\,d{{m}^{-\,3}}NaOH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c]
    Buffer solutions are aqueous solutions consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice-versa.
    When the concentration of \[N{{H}_{4}}OH\](weak base) is higher than the strong acid \[(HCl),\] a mixture of weak base and its conjugate acid is obtained, which acts as basic buffer.
    \[\begin{matrix}    {} & N{{H}_{4}}OH+ & HCl\xrightarrow{{}} & N{{H}_{4}}Cl+ & {{H}_{2}}O  \\    Initially & 0.1\,M & 0.05M & 0 & 0  \\    After\,reaction & 0.05M & 0 & 0.05 & 0  \\ \end{matrix}\]
