An aqueous solution of

\mathrm{1M }\;\mathrm{NaCl}\;\mathrm{ and}\;1\;\mathrm{M}\;\mathrm{ HCl }\;\mathrm{is}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{not\; a\; buffer\; but\; pH} < 7

Option A (not a buffer but pH < 7) is correct because a mixture of a strong acid (HCl) and a neutral salt (NaCl) will result in a solution with a low pH and no buffering capacity.
