Options
- Astrong acid and its salt with weak base.
- Bstrong base and its salt with weak acid.
- Cweak acid and its salt with strong base.
- Dweak base and its salt with strong acid.
Correct answer
C. weak acid and its salt with strong base.
Step-by-step solution
The combination of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base can form a buffer solution. The weak acid and its conjugate base (from the salt) help maintain a relatively stable pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.
