Question:

Which of the following solutions, when mixed, will not form a buffer solution?

Show Hint

For buffer solutions, the amount of acid and conjugate base should be in similar concentrations. A strong acid or base will disrupt the buffering capacity.

  • 100 mL 0.1 M NaOH + 50 mL 0.1 M CH3COOH
  • 50 mL 0.1 M NaOH + 100 mL 0.1 M CH3COOH
  • 50 mL 0.1 M NH4OH + 50 mL 0.1 M CH3COOH
  • 50 mL 0.1 M HCl + 100 mL 0.1 M CH3COONa

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

A buffer solution is formed by a weak acid and its conjugate base, or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In option (a), NaOH is a strong base, and CH3COOH is a weak acid, but the amount of NaOH is too high to form a buffer. The mixture will result in a solution that is not a buffer.
