100 ml of a 0,01M CH3COOH-solution
100ml of a 0,005M NAOH- solution
Can anyone explain me why this is a buffer solution?
Thank you!!

There are similar amounts of H+ and OH- ions in the solution.
NaOH will produce OH- and CH3OOH will produce H+.
The H+ will neutralise bases.
The OH- will neutralise acids.
Therefore resisting changes in pH

because it resists a change in pH.
