    Which of the following 1:1 mixture will act as buffer solution?                           

    A) \[HCl\]and \[NaOH\]

    B) \[KOH\]and \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]and \[NaCl\]

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOH\]and \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Buffer is a mixture of weak acid with its salt with strong base or mixture of weak base and its salt with strong acid: [a]\[\text{HCl}\,\text{+}\,\text{NaOH}\] is not buffer because both are strong acid and strong base. [b] \[\text{KOH}\,\text{+}\,\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{3}}COOH\]is not buffer because they do not have common ion. [c] \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COOH}\,\text{+}\,\text{NaCl}\]is not buffer because they do not have common ion. [d]\[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COOH}\,\text{+}\,\,\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COONa}\] are buffer because \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COOH}\]is weak acid and \[\text{C}{{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}}\text{COONa}\]its salt with strong base\[\text{(NaOH)}\text{.}\]
