A

100 mL of 0.1 M HCl+100 mL of 0.1 M NaOH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M HCl} + 100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH}

B

50 mL of 0.1 M NaOH+25 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH50 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH} + 25 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M CH}_3\text{COOH}

C

100 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH+100 mL of 0.1 M NaOH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M CH}_3\text{COOH} + 100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH}

D

100 mL of 0.1 M HCl+200 mL of 0.1 M NH4OH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M HCl} + 200 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NH}_4\text{OH}

Step-by-Step Solution

A basic buffer is a mixture of a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. Let's calculate the milli-moles (mmol) of the components in each option:

  1. 100 mL of 0.1 M HCl+100 mL of 0.1 M NaOH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M HCl} + 100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH}: mmol of HCl = 100×0.1=10100 \times 0.1 = 10 mmol mmol of NaOH = 100×0.1=10100 \times 0.1 = 10 mmol Complete neutralization occurs, forming a neutral salt (NaCl). It is not a buffer.

  2. 50 mL of 0.1 M NaOH+25 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH50 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH} + 25 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M CH}_3\text{COOH}: mmol of NaOH = 50×0.1=550 \times 0.1 = 5 mmol mmol of CH3COOH=25×0.1=2.5\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} = 25 \times 0.1 = 2.5 mmol After the reaction, 2.52.5 mmol of CH3COONa\text{CH}_3\text{COONa} is formed and 2.52.5 mmol of the strong base NaOH is left. It is not a buffer.

  3. 100 mL of 0.1 M CH3COOH+100 mL of 0.1 M NaOH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M CH}_3\text{COOH} + 100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NaOH}: mmol of CH3COOH=100×0.1=10\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} = 100 \times 0.1 = 10 mmol mmol of NaOH = 100×0.1=10100 \times 0.1 = 10 mmol Complete neutralization occurs, forming a salt of a weak acid and a strong base (CH3COONa\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}). It is not a buffer.

  4. 100 mL of 0.1 M HCl+200 mL of 0.1 M NH4OH100 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M HCl} + 200 \text{ mL of } 0.1 \text{ M NH}_4\text{OH}: mmol of HCl = 100×0.1=10100 \times 0.1 = 10 mmol mmol of NH4OH=200×0.1=20\text{NH}_4\text{OH} = 200 \times 0.1 = 20 mmol After the reaction, 1010 mmol of NH4Cl\text{NH}_4\text{Cl} is formed and 1010 mmol of NH4OH\text{NH}_4\text{OH} is left unreacted. This is a mixture of a weak base (NH4OH\text{NH}_4\text{OH}) and its salt with a strong acid (NH4Cl\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}). Hence, it acts as a basic buffer.
