Question
Which combination of the following substances will result in the formation of an acidic buffer when mixed?
Weak acid and its salt with a strong base.
Equal volumes of equimolar solutions of weak acid and weak base.
Strong acid and its salt with a strong base.
Strong acid and its salt with a weak base. (The of acid = of the base)
An acidic buffer solution is prepared by mixing a weak acid and its salt formed with a strong base . For example, a mixture of acetic acid (a weak acid) and sodium acetate (its salt with a strong base) acts as an acidic buffer solution around pH 4.75 .
This question aligns with the NEET CHEMISTRY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Equilibrium. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
