Hcl is a strong acid. NaCl is formed by the reaction of Hcl and any base .But NaCl is not a covalent compound and it exists as Na+ and Cl-.Na+and OH- cannot react with EachOther in Aqueous solutions as as the are formed in aqueous solutions and they behave like ions . hence neither H+ nor OH- is consumed by this mixture whereas acetic acid and acetate ions can consume small amt of these ions.Hence the mix. act as buffer

Why a mixture of ch3cooh and ch3coona can act as a buffer while a mixture of hcl and nacl can not?
Buffers are made out of what are called weak acids or weak bases. Mixtures of CH3COOH and CH3COONa can act as buffers because they don't break apart completely in solution like HCl and NaCl. As the CH3COOH and CH3COONa are in solution they keep the pH constant by either donating or accepting protons because they don't act like strong acids or bases. HCl is known as a strong acid where the hydrogen disassociates completely from the chloride. NaCl is not a buffer because it dissolves completely as welll
