Solution
The correct options are ANaOH and CH3COOH CHNO3 and CH3COOK DCH3COOH and CH3COOK An acidic buffer solution contains a weak acid and its salt with strong base. The following pairs will form buffer solutions. (A) NaOH and CH3COOH react to form CH3COONa. NaOH+CH3COOH→CH3COONa+H2O A mixture CH3COOH+CH3COONa is a buffer solution. (B) HNO3 and CH3COOK react to form CH3COOH. HNO3+CH3COOK→CH3COOH+KNO3 A mixture CH3COOH+CH3COONa is a buffer solution. (C) CH3COOH and CH3COOK is a buffer solution.
