Question

Which of the following is true regarding how weak acid-conjugate base buffers neutralized acids and bases? The conjugate base neutralizes bases. The weak acid neutralizes acids. strong acid and weak acid bond, forming a compound that is not acidic. A similar reaction occurs when a strong base is added to a buffer. The weak acid in the buffer neutralizes bases. The conjugate base neutralizes acids. The weak acid in the buffer is attracted to strong adds and surrounds them, neutralizing them Conjugate bases act in a similar fashion, on strong bases.

Explanation / Answer

option C

The weak acid in the bufer neutralizes bases and its conjugate reacts and neutralizes acids .

Due to this behaviour the buffers show very small change in the pH on addition small amount of acid or bases.
