What is the conjugate base of hydrocyanic acid?

The conjugate base of hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is cyanide ion (CN-). When HCN donates a proton, it forms CN-.


What is the conjugate acid of CN?

HCN - Hydrogen cyanide The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN. HCN stands for hydrogen cyanide. The conjugate acids are a combination of a strong acid and a low base.


What is the conjugate base for CN -?

The conjugate base of CN- is HCN (hydrogen cyanide). When CN- accepts a proton, it becomes neutral and forms the weak acid HCN.


What is the hydrocyanic acid balanced equation?

H+ + cn- ---> hcn


Is HCN an acid or base?

Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.


Give the products what acid base reactions and identify the conjugate acid base pairs NH3 H2O and NH4 CN?

NH3 + H20 <----> NH4+ + OH- Ammonia is a weak base so it is the favored side of the equilbrium. Conjugate acid and base pairs only differ by a proton. So ammonia and ammonium are pairs and water and hydroxide ions are pairs. NH4+ + CN- <-------> HCN + NH3


Is HCN an acid base or salt?

It is weakly acidic but extremely poisonous, though. ;)

When aqueous solutions of sodium cyanide and hydrochloric acid are mixed an aqueous solution of sodium chloride and hydrocyanic acid results Write the net ionic equation for the reaction?

The net ionic equation for the reaction is: CN^- + H^+ -> HCn


What is the pka value for NaCN?

NaCN doesn't really have a pKa. In water it becomes Na^+ and CN^-. The CN^- is a base so it will have a Kb and pKb. If you want the pKa of the conjugate acid (HCN), you can find that from 1x10^-14/Kb.


Is NaCN a base or acid?

Sodium cyanide is a base/salt that dissociates in water. CN- is a conjugate base of a weak acid so it grabs a proton (in small amounts) from the water molecule to become HCN.


What elements are in hydrocyanic acid?

hydrogen(H) and cyanide(CN) which is a polyatomic ion (made up of more than one element)
