Question

Explain the types of buffers with example.

Answer 1

There are two types of buffer solutions:

1. Acidic buffer solution: It is a solution containing weak acid such as CH₃COOH and its salt such as CH₃COONa is an acidic buffer solution.
2. Basic buffer solution: A solution containing a weak base such as NH₄OH and its salt such as NH₄Cl is a basic buffer solution.
