Which from the following is NOT a buffer solution?
Which from the following is NOT a buffer solution?
Options
- A in water.
- B in water.
- C in water.
- D in water.
Correct answer
D. in water.
Step-by-step solution
A buffer solution is formed by mixing a weak acid and its conjugate base (salt with a strong base) or a weak base and its conjugate acid (salt with a strong acid).
is an acidic buffer because it contains a weak acid () and its salt with a strong base ().
is a basic buffer because it contains a weak base () and its salt with a strong acid ().
is an acidic buffer because it contains a weak acid () and its salt with a strong base ().
is a mixture of a weak acid and a salt of a strong acid and strong base. It does not contain the conjugate base of the weak acid (), so it cannot act as a buffer solution.
Answer: in water.
