Buffer  solution  can  be  obtained  by  mixing  aqueous solution of

A.CH3COONa and excess HCl
B.CH3COONa and CH3COOH✓ Correct
C.NaOH + NaCl
D.CH3COOH and excess NaOH.
Explanation

We know that an acidic buffer consists of weak acid and its salt with a strong base. Acetic acid is a weak acid and sodium acetate  its salt  with strong base NaOH. Therefore, it is an acidic buffer. For a buffer to form, it cannot have a strong acid or base. Option (a) has a strong acid HCl Option (c) has a strong base NaOH Option (d) also has a strong base NaOH So, all of these cannot form buffer.
