Which of the following statements is accurate regarding buffering solutions? A. When forming a buffer solution, a weak acid and weak base pair are used as long as they can form conjugate acids and bases in a strong acid. B. When forming a buffer solution, a weak acid and weak base pair are used as long as they can form conjugate acids and bases in a strong base. C. When forming a buffer solution, a weak acid and weak base pair are used as long as they can form conjugate acids and bases in sodium hydroxide. D. When forming a buffer solution, a weak acid and weak base pair are used as long as they can form conjugate acids and bases in water.
i would say D sounds the most correct
but buffers exist across all pH ranges, so they can also be present in strong acidic or basic solutions
