Vedclass · Answer

(C) buffer solution is formed by a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In option $C$,we have $40 \, mL$ of $0.1 \, M \, NaCN$ $(4 \, mmol)$ and $20 \, mL$ of $0.1 \, M \, HCl$ $(2 \, mmol)$. The reaction is: $NaCN + HCl \rightarrow HCN + NaCl$. After the reaction,$2 \, mmol$ of $NaCN$ (weak base) remains and $2 \, mmol$ of $HCN$ (conjugate acid) is formed. Since we have a mixture of a weak acid $(HCN)$ and its salt with a strong base $(NaCN)$,it acts as an acidic buffer.
