The buffer solution is not formed for:

Correct answer: D. HCl + NaCl

  • A. NH4OH + NH4Cl
  • B. CH3COOH + CH3COONa
  • C. C6H5COOH + C6H5COONa
  • D. HCl + NaCl

Explanation

For the formation of a buffer, there should be a weak acid OR a weak base together with its salt. Since option D has a strong acid (HCl) and its salt (NaCl), a buffer solution can not be formed with this combination. Option A has a weak base and its salt. Options B and C have weak acids and their salts. These combinations can form buffer solutions so, they are not correct options.
