Which set of compounds would form a buffer in aqueous solution?
NaBr and KBr
KF AND KOH
HCl and KCl
HCN and KCN
HCOOH and HCOOK
HF and KCl
NaCl and KCl
A buffer must be a weak acid and its conjugate base or
A weak base and its conjugate acid.
note: combination with strong acid or strong base could not be a buffer.
NaBr and KBr
Both NaBr and KBr are neutral salts. so not a buffer
KF AND KOH
KOH is a strong base. so not a buffer
HCl and KCl
HCl is strong acid and KCl is a neutral salt. so not a buffer
HCN and KCN
HCN is a weak acid and KCN is the conjugate base of HCN. It is a buffer solution
HCOOH and HCOOK
HCOOH is a weak acid and HCOOK is a conjugate base of HCOOH. So it is called buffer
HF and KCl
KCl is a neutral salt. so it is not a buffer
NaCl and KCl
Both are neutral salts. so not a buffer
Answer is
HCN and KCN
HCOOH and HCOOK
