Which among the following pair constitute a buffer?
Options
- ALiOH and LiCl
- BHNO ₃ and NH ₄ NO ₃
- CHNO ₂ and NaNO ₂
- DHBr and KBr
Correct answer
C. HNO ₂ and NaNO ₂
Step-by-step solution
Buffer solution consists of mixture of weak acids and their salts or weak base and their salts. LiOH is a strong base whereas HNO ₃ and HBr are strong acids. HNO ₂ is a weak acid and NaNO ₂ is a salt formed by combination of weak acid ( HNO ₂ ) and strong base ( NaOH ) . Buffer = HNO ₂+ NaNO ₂ .
