I read somewhere that HNO3 and CH3COONa can act as a buffer solution. I know that the following solutions can act as a buffer-
1) A solution of weak acid and its salt with a strong base.
2) A solution of strong base and its salt with a strong acid.
3) A solution of a salt of weak acid and a weak base.
The above two compounds don't fit in any of these criteria.
How can they act as a buffer?
