Solution
The correct options are CHNO3 and CH3COONa DCH3COOH and CH3COONa A solution that resists change in pH value upon addition of small amount of strong acid or base (less than 1 %) or when a solution is diluted is called buffer solution.
Basic buffer solution: A basic buffer solution consists of a mixture of a weak base and its salt with a strong acid. The best-known example is a mixture of NH4OH and NH4Cl.
Acidic buffer solution: An acidic buffer solution consists of a solution of a weak acid and its salt with a strong base. The best-known example is a mixture of a solution of acetic acid and its salt with a strong base.
