Which from following mixtures in water acts as a basic buffer?
Options
- ANH ₄ OH + NH ₄ Cl
- BC ₆ H ₅ COOH + C ₆ H ₅ COONa
- CHCOOH + HCOOK
- DCH ₃ COOH + CH ₃ COONa
Correct answer
A. NH ₄ OH + NH ₄ Cl
Step-by-step solution
Basic buffer is the mixture of weak base and its salt with strong acid. In option A , NH ₄ OH is weak base and NH ₄ Cl is salt of strong acid and weak base. Hence, NH ₄ OH + NH ₄ Cl is basic buffer. Other options are examples of acidic buffer.
