In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
HF is a weak acid.
If you are titrating a base, using a weak acid as titrant would lead to the formation of a buffer as you added the weak acid. The weak acid would react with the base to form the salt of the weak acid + water, and this would buffer any changes in pH, thus making the titration meaningless.
I think it is neutral
Dissolved carbon dioxide in water (carbonic acid) is weak acid.
No, CHOOH is not a salt. CHOOH typically represents a functional group known as a hydroxyl group, which consists of an oxygen and a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom. Salts are formed when a metal cation replaces the hydrogen atom in an acid group.
No, the conjugate of a strong base is a weak acid. The conjugate base of a strong acid is weak, while the conjugate acid of a strong base is weak.

b) The conjugate acid of a weak base is a weak acid. When a base accepts a proton to form its conjugate acid, it tends to be a weak acid because it does not easily donate a proton back. This relationship is governed by the principles of acid-base equilibrium.
HCOO- is the conjugate base of formic acid (HCOOH) which is a weak acid. Therefore, HCOO- is a weak base.
A solution containing a weak acid and its salt will act as a buffer, maintaining the pH by neutralizing added acid or base. Similarly, a weak base and its salt can also function as a buffer. Weak acid-weak base buffer systems are commonly used in chemical laboratories and biological systems to control pH fluctuations.
CH3COOH is a acid. It is a weak acid.
No, HNO2 is a weak acid, not a weak base. It is a weak acid because it only partially ionizes in water to release H+ ions.
HCO3 is not an acid, but a base. It is the conjugate base of the weak acid H2CO3 (carbonic acid). In water, it can act as a weak base by accepting a proton to form H2CO3.
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
No, NaCl is neither an acid, weak acid, or a (weak) base. It is considered a salt.
HCN is a weak acid. It partially dissociates in water to form H+ ions and CN- ions.
