Topic: JEE PYQ

Answer: C, D. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. A and COOH
  2. BKOH and COONa
  3. C and COONa
  4. DCOOH and COONa

Correct answer: C, D

Solution

(c,d)
(c) + COONa mixture can act as buffer solution if volume of solution taken is lesser than volume of COONa solution because of following reaction :
COONa + → COOH +
(d) COOH + COONa - mixture will act as buffer.
