Solution

The correct option is A 1
Buffer capacity :
It is defined as the moles of a strong acid or strong base required to change the pH of 1 L of a buffer by one unit.

Moles of HCl is : $\frac{Mass}{Molar mass} = \frac{36.5}{36.5} = 1 m o l$

$Buffer capacity = \frac{Number of moles of acid or base added to a 1L buffer}{Change in pH} Buffer capacity = \frac{1}{4 - 3} = 1$
