Assertion : Mixture of (\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOH}) and (\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COONH}_4) is an example of acidic buffer.
Reason : Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with weak base.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
(\mathrm{CH}}_{3} / \mathrm{CH}}_{3}\mathrm{COONH}}_{4}) is not an example of acidic buffer. Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with strong base. e.g. (\mathrm{CH}}_{3}\mathrm{COOH}\mathrm{CH}}_{3} ).
