Answer» (D) Reserve acidity and reserve alkalinity A buffer solution is one which maintains its pH fairly constant even upon the addition of small amounts of acid or base. Two common types of buffer solutions are : 1. a weak acid together with a salt of the same acid with a strong base. These are called acid buffers, (eg): CH3COOH + CH3COONa 2. a weak base Mid its salt with a strong acid. These are called basic buffers, (eg) : NH4OH + NH4Cl |
