Answers
Answer:
Common ion effect and basic buffer
Explanation:
Answer:
The equimolar quantities of both NH₄OH and NH₄Cl yield an example of a basic buffer.
Explanation:
NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte hence, dissociates completely, NH₄OH is a weak electrolyte, that does not dissociate completely.
This solution acts as a basic buffer and maintains its pH, so it is capable of resisting the change in pH with the addition of a small amount of acid or alkali.
When a small amount of acid is added to this solution, H⁺ ions of the acid get neutralized by OH⁻ ions already present and due to which many NH₄OH molecules get ionized to compensate for the loss of OH⁻ ions. Due to this, the pH remains maintained.
Hence, the mixture of equimolar quantities of both NH₄OH and NH₄Cl yields an example of a basic buffer. Hence, the correct option is (c) a Basic buffer.
