## Acids and Bases: Identifying the Major Species in Weak Acid or Weak Base Solutions

### Instructions

The preparations of two aqueous solutions are described in the table below. For each solution, write the chemical formulas of the **major** species present at equilibrium. You can leave out water itself.

Write the chemical formulas of the species that will act as acids in the 'acids' row, the formulas of the species that will act as bases in the 'bases' row, and the formulas of the species that will act as neither acids nor bases in the 'other' row.

Keep in mind that HCN is a weak acid.

### Solutions Described

1. **First Mixture:**
   - **Composition:** 0.7 mol of KOH is added to 1.0 L of a 0.7 M HCN solution.
   - **Classify Species:**
     - **Acids:** [ ]
     - **Bases:** [ ]
     - **Other:** [ ]

2. **Second Mixture:**
   - **Composition:** 0.13 mol of NaOH is added to 1.0 L of a solution that is 1.5 M in both HCN and NaCN.
   - **Classify Species:**
     - **Acids:** [ ]
     - **Bases:** [ ]
     - **Other:** [ ]

### Diagram Overview
The page includes a section with checkboxes. The checkboxes are used to select the major species acting as acids, bases, or neither in each of the given chemical solutions.

### Interaction
- **Buttons:** 
  - **Explanation:** Provides clarification or solutions to the problem.
  - **Check:** Validates your selections against the correct answers.

This educational tool is designed to enhance your understanding of chemical equilibria involving acids and bases.
