Chemical And Ionic Equilibrium Result Question 38

38. A buffer solution can be prepared from a mixture of

$(1999,3 M)$

(a) sodium acetate and acetic acid in water

(b) sodium acetate and $\mathrm{HCl}$ in water

(c) ammonia and ammonium chloride in water

(d) ammonia and sodium hydroxide in water

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 38. ( a,b,c )

Solution:

  1. $\mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COONa}=$ Buffer solution

$ \mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{HCl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{NaCl} $

If $\mathrm{HCl}$ is taken in limited quantity, final solution will have both $\mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COOH}$ and $\mathrm{CH} _3 \mathrm{COONa}$ needed for buffer solution.

Ammonia and ammonium chloride forms basic buffer.
