Milliequivalents of KCN is (0.1V-0.05V =) 0.05V. The solution contains <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/equal-446400" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about EQUAL">EQUAL</a> quantities of weak acid HCN and its conjugate base <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cn-907325" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CN">CN</a>. Hence the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/given-473447" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GIVEN">GIVEN</a> mixture is an acidic buffer solution.</body></html>
