Which one of the following pairs of solution is not an acidic buffer?

  1. A \(CH_3COOH\) and \(CH_3COONa\)
  2. B \(H_2CO_3\) and \(Na_2CO_3\)
  3. C \(H_3PO_4\) and \(Na_3PO_4\)
  4. D \(HClO_4\) and \(NaClO_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(HClO_4\) and \(NaClO_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A buffer solution is one which resists changes in \(\mathrm{pH}\) when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. \(\mathrm{HClO}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{NaClO}_{4}\) are not an acidic buffer because strong acid with its salt cannot form buffer solution.
