CH 3 COOH / CH 3 COONH 4 is not an example of acidic buffer. Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with strong base. e. g. CH 2 COOH / CH 3 COONa

Q. Assertion : Mixture of $C H_{3} COO H$ and $C H_{3} COON H_{4}$ is an example of acidic buffer.
Reason : Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with weak base.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

$C H_{3} COO H / C H_{3} COON H_{4}$ is not an example of acidic buffer. Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of weak acid and its salt with strong base.

e. g. $C H_{2} COO H / C H_{3} COON a$
