MCQ
Note : In the following questions a statement of Assertion $(A)$ followed by a statement of Reason $(R)$ is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given\ below each question.
Assertion $(A)$ : A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate maintains a constant value of $\ce{pH}$ on addition of small amounts of acid or alkali.
Reason $(R)$ : A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate acts as a buffer solution around $\ce{pH}\ 4.75.$
  • A
    $A$ and $R$ both are correct, and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • $A$ and $R$ both are correct, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • C
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ and $R$ both are false.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$A$ and $R$ both are correct, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
The solutions which resist change in $\ce{pH}$ on dilution or with the addition of small amounts of acid or alkali are called buffer solutions.
