Expert Solution
Step 1

1) When a strong base is added to a weak acid, a buffer solution is obtained.

The amount of major species at equilibrium can be identified by using ICE (initial ,change and equilibrium table).

 

2) When a strong acid is added to a buffer solution, it reacts with the salt (formed by the conjugate base of the weak acid) of the buffer solution.

The major species at equilibrium can be identified by using ICE (initial ,change and equilibrium table).

Hence, at equilibrium the major species is : HF (aq) which is 0.4 mol.

In this case, 

acid is : HF (aq)

base is: KOH(aq)

others : KF(aq)
