Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ buffer solution is the mixture of a salt and an acid or a base mixed in any particular quantities.
Statement $II$: Blood is a naturally occurring buffer solution whose $pH$ is maintained by $H_2CO_3 / HCO_3^{-}$ concentrations.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for an acidic buffer is given by $pH - pK_a = 5$. This condition holds true when:

The addition of small amounts of either acid or base to a buffer solution causes only small changes in $pH$ because the buffer solution

Assertion : Mixture of $CH_3COOH$ and $CH_3COONH_4$ is an example of acidic buffer.
Reason : Acidic buffer contains equimolar mixture of a weak acid and its salt with weak base.

$0.1 \ M$ $CH_3COOH$ is titrated against $0.1 \ M$ $NaOH$. What would be the difference in $pH$ between $1/4$ and $3/4$ stages of neutralization of the acid?
