Which one of the following mixture does not act as a buffer solution?

ABoric acid and borax
BSodium phosphate & disodium hydrogen phosphate
CSodium propionate and propionic acid
DSodium acetate and sodium propionate
Correct Answer

Solution

An acidic buffer contains equimolar quantities of weak acid and its salt with strong base. A basic buffer contains equinolar quantities of weak base and its salt with strong acid. Sodium acetate is a salt with strong base but sodium propionate is not weak acid, it is also a salt.
