Q.
Which one of the following is basic buffer solution?
UP CPMTUP CPMT 2015Equilibrium
Solution:
$NH_{4}OH + NH_{4}Cl$ is a buffer mixture of a weak base and its salt
This mixture contains undissociated $NH_{4}OH$ as well as $NH^{+}_{4}$ and $Cl^{-}$ ions
If a strong acid is added, $H^{+}$ ions added are neutralised by base $NH_{4}OH$
$H^{+} + NH_{4}OH \to H_{2}O + NH^{+}_{4}$
If a strong base is added, the $OH^{-}$ ions added are neutralised by $NH^{+}_{4}$ ions forming very slightly dissociated $NH_{4}OH$
