  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

A Weak acid and its salt with a strong base forms a buffer.\(\therefore\) (D) \(\mathrm{HNO}_{3}\) being a strong acid, displaces weaker acid \(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}\).…
