Which of the following combinations would result in a buffered solution when 1.0L of each of the two solutions are mixed?
Question 2 options:
0.1 M HCl + 0.1 M NaC2H3O2
0.1 M HCl + 0.2 M NaCl
0.2 M HCl + 0.1 M NaF
0.1 M HCl + 0.2 M HC2H3O2
none are correct
a) HCl is a strong acid and sodium acetate (weak base) is a conjugate base of acetic acid.
b) HCl is a strong acid and sodium chloride is a conjugate base of HCl. They do not form buffer because only weak substances can make buffers.
c) HCl is a strong acid and sodium fluoride (weak base) is a conjugate base of HF.
d) HCl is a strong acid and acetic acid is a weak acid.
These do not form buffer because only weak substances can make buffers. Acidic buffer solution contains equimolar quantities of a weak acid and its salt with strong base. Basic buffer solution contains equimolar quantities of a weak base and its salt with strong acid.
Correct answer is "none are correct".
