If an equal number of moles of the weak acid HCNand the strong base KOH are added to water,is the resulting solution acidic,basic,or neutral? A)acidic B)basic C)neutral D)Depends on the solution volume

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a weak acid reacts with a strong base in equal molar amounts, the strong base completely neutralizes the weak acid, producing a salt and water. The resulting solution is basic due to the complete dissociation of the strong base (KOH) in water, which increases the concentration of OH- ions.
