Chemistry Question on Equilibrium
An acidic buffer solution can be prepared by mixing solution of
A
sodium acetate and acetic acid
B
ammonium chloride and ammonium hydroxide
C
sulphuric acid and sodium sulphate
D
sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide
Answer
sodium acetate and acetic acid
Explanation
Solution
An acidic buffer is prepared by mixing weak acid and its salt with a strong conjugate basei.e. CH3COOH and CH3COONa.
Therefore, acetic acid and sodium acetate can be used to prepare an acidic buffer.
**Hence, option A) is the correct answer. **
