Question
Chapter 17, Problem 1SAQ
Interpretation Introduction

Introduction: A buffer contains a significant amount of either weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. When the additional base is added to a buffer, the weak acid reacts with the base, which neutralizes it. When acid is added to a buffer, the conjugate base reacts with the acid, which neutralizes it. In this way, a buffer can maintain a nearly constant pH.

Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer: (c) NH3

Explanation of Solution

In the given buffer of 0.100 M in NH4Cl and 0.100 M in NH3, NH3 is weak base and NH4Cl is a conjugate acid of NH3. When a small amount of hydrobromic acid, HBr is added to this buffer, NH3 (a weak base) neutralizes the added acid HBr. The equation for this neutralization is as follows:

NH3+H+NH4+

Conclusion

Hence, the correct option is (c).
