MCQ
In which of the following combination, is buffer action expected ?
$(a)\, NH_4OH + NH_4Cl$
$(b)\, HCl + NaCl$
$(c)\, NH_4OH + HCl$ in $2 : 1$ mole ratio
Select the correct answer using the code given below
  • A
    $a$ and $b$
  • $a$ and $c$
  • C
    $a, b$ and $c$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
$a$ and $c$
b
Combination of weak base $\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}\right)$ and its
salt with strong acid $\left(\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}\right)$ act as basic buffer
solution

                 $\mathop {N{H_4}OH}\limits_{(weak\,base)} $ $+$ $\mathop {HCl}\limits_{\left( \begin{subarray}{l} 
  Strong \\ 
  acid 
\end{subarray}  \right)} $ $ \rightleftharpoons $ $N{H_4}Cl + {H_2}O$

initial              $2$ mole      $1$ mole                $0$            $0$ 

After              $(2-1)$       $(1-1)$          $0$              $0$

reaction         $=1$ mole      $=0$

$1$ mole $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH} \,\& \,1$ mole $\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}$ are present in mixture after reaction. Hence it will also act as basic buffer
