MCQ
Direction : In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion : A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate maintains a constant value of $\ce{pH}$ on addition of small amounts of acid or alkali.
Reason : A solution containing a mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate acts as a buffer solution around $\ce{pH}\ 4.75.$
  • Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    Both assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
    Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer
