JEE Advanced2010ChemistryIonic EquilibriumActual
Aqueous solutions of HNO ₃, KOH , CH ₃ COOH , and CH ₃ COONa of identical concentrations are provided. The pair(s) of solutions which form a buffer upon mixing is(are)
Options
- AHNO ₃ and CH ₃ COOH
- BKOH and CH ₃ COONa
- CHNO ₃ and CH ₃ COONa
- DCH ₃ COOH and CH ₃ COONa
Correct answer
C. HNO ₃ and CH ₃ COONa
Step-by-step solution
HNO ₃ and CH ₃ COONa can form buffer if the amount of HNO ₃ is limited. However concentrations are same but the amount can differ with manipulation of volume. Ionic equilibrium Conceptual II
