Acidic buffer consists of:
Correct answer: B. Weak acid and salt of it with a strong base
- A. Strong acid and salt of it with a weak base
- B. Weak acid and salt of it with a strong base
- C. Strong acid and salt of it with a strong base
- D. Weak acid and salt of it with a weak base
Explanation
The formation of a buffer solution requires a weak base OR a weak acid with its salt with a strong acid OR a strong base respectively, which is only stated in option B. A and C are incorrect because strong acid with its salt does not form a buffer solution; weak acids with its salt forms a buffer solution. D is theoretically not possible because a weak acid can not react with a weak base to form a salt.
