Which one of the following is a buffer solution? 0.10 M KCN 0.20 M CH3COOH 1.0 M HNO3 and 1.0 M NaNO3 0.40 M HCN and 0.10 KCN 0.50 M HCl and 0.10 NaCl

0.40 M HCN and 0.10 KCN

Explanation:

A buffer solution is defined as the aqueous mixture of a weak base and its conjugate base or vice versa.

For the systems:

0.10 M KCN 0.20 M CH3COOH: Acetic acid, CH₃COOH is a weak acid and KCN is the conjugate base of HCN. Here, you have a weak acid and a conjugate base but not the conjugate base of the acetic acid or the weak acid of KCN. Thus, it is not a buffer.

1.0 M HNO3 and 1.0 M NaNO3. HNO₃ is a strong acid. Thus, this system is not a buffer.

0.40 M HCN and 0.10 KCN. Here, you have HCN, the weak acid, and KCN, its conjugate base. Thus, it is a buffer.

0.50 M HCl and 0.10 NaCl. HCl is a strong acid, thus, its mixture with NaCl is not a buffer.

where is the following

explanation:

the tides are influenced by both the moon and the sun, it's easy to see that when the sun lines up with the moon and the earth, as during a new moon or full moon, the tidal effect is increased. these are known as spring tides, named not for the season, but for the fact that the water "springs" higher than normal. on the other hand, if the sun and the moon are 90 degrees apart in relation to an observer on earth as during the first quarter moon or third quarter moon, then high tides are not as high as they normally would be. this is because despite its greater distance, the sun's mass allows it to exert enough gravitational force on the oceans that it can negate some of the effects of the moon's pull. this phenomenon of lower high tides is called a neap tide. if you need more information on this topic visit moonconnection.com.
