JEE Advanced · Chemistry · 8. Ionic Equilibrium

Aqueous solutions of \(\mathrm{HNO}_3, \mathrm{KOH}\), \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\), and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\) of identical concentrations are provided. The pair(s) of solutions which form a buffer upon mixing is(are)

  1. A \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{KOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) and \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONa}\) can form buffer if the amount of \(\mathrm{HNO}_3\) is limited. However concentrations are same but the amount can differ with manipulation of volume.
