True or False? A solution made from NaCl and HCl will act as a buffer solution.

No.

thankyou! that is a big help!

False. A solution made from NaCl and HCl will not act as a buffer solution.

To determine whether a solution acts as a buffer, we need to consider two things: the presence of a weak acid-base conjugate pair and a significant amount of both the weak acid and its conjugate base or the weak base and its conjugate acid.

In the case of NaCl and HCl, NaCl is a salt formed by the reaction of the strong base NaOH and strong acid HCl. HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water, while NaCl dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions. None of these species (Na+, Cl-, and H+) exhibit any characteristics of a weak acid or a weak base.

Therefore, a solution made from NaCl and HCl does not have the necessary components to act as a buffer, and the statement is false.
