Answer

$d. 0.1M KOH$ and $0.2M CH_3NH_3Cl$

Work Step by Step

Since there are a weak acid and a strong base in the solution, this reaction will occur: $KOH(aq) + CH_3N{H_3}^+(aq) -- \gt K^+(aq) + CH_3NH_2(aq) + H_2O(l)$ $KOH$ is the limiting reactant, because it has the lower concentration $(0.1M)$. Therefore, these are the final concentrations in the solution: $[KOH] = 0.1M - 0.1M = 0$ $[CH_3N{H_3}^+] = 0.2M - 0.1M = 0.1M$ $[CH_3NH_2] = 0.1M$ (Produced) As we can see, we have $CH_3N{H_3}^+$ and $CH_3NH_2$ in equal concentrations, so, this is a buffer.
