Answer: 0.28 M ammonia + 0.35 M ammonium nitrate and 0.15 M nitrous acid + 0.14 M potassium nitrite

Explanation:

Buffer solution is the solution which resists the change in the magnitude of the pH when small additions of either acid or base is added.

Acidic Buffer solutions consist of weak acid and its conjugate base usually mixed in relatively equal and large quantities.

Basic Buffer solutions consist of weak base and its conjugate acid usually mixed in relatively equal and large quantities.

Thus 0.28 M ammonia + 0.35 M ammonium nitrate (weak base + conjugate acid) and 0.15 M nitrous acid + 0.14 M potassium nitrite (weak acid + conjugate base) are good buffer systems
