Which one of the following pairs can be used to make a buffer? Justify your answer: A: NaCl and HCl B: K2HPO4 and KH2PO4 C: K3PO3 and H2SO3 Answers: C, because it is a mixture of a weak base and a weak acid B, because it is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base A, because it is a mixture of a strong acid and its conjugate base
