Which combination of the following substances will result in the formation of an acidic buffer when mixed?
1. Weak acid and it's salt with a strong base.
2. Equal volumes of equimolar solutions of weak acid and weak base.
3. Strong acid and its salt with a strong base.
4. Strong acid and its salt with a weak base.
(The pKa of acid = pKb of the base)

The dissociation constant of a weak acid is \(1\times 10^{-4}\) in order to prepare a buffer solution with pH=5 the [salt]/ [Acid] ratio should be:
1. 4 : 5 2. 10 : 1
3. 5 : 4 4. 1 : 10

Buffer solutions have constant acidity and alkalinity because:
 

1. these give unionized acid or base on reaction with added acid or alkali.
2. acid and alkali in these solutions are shielded from attack by other ions
3. they have large excess of H+ or OH- ions
4. they have fixed  value of pH
