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.
How do you make lactic acid from Ethanal?
Firstly, ethanal is reacted with HCN to produce hydroxynitrile. CH3CHO +HCN -------> CH3CH(OH)CN Only then the hydroxynitrile is converted into carboxylic acid (lactic acid in this case) by heating under reflux with aqueous acids or alkalis (hydrolysis). CH3CH(OH)CN + 2H2O + H+ (proton) --------> CH3CH(OH)COOH +NH4+ (ammonium ion) Lactic acid basics can be found at bocsci(dot)com.
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
What is the formula and charge of Cyanide?
Cyanide is CN-1.
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 of hydrocyanic acid?
CN-
What is the hydrocyanic acid balanced equation?
H+ + cn- ---> hcn
What is the NET IONIC equation for hydrocyanic acid and potassium hydroxide?
The eqnet ionic equation is HCN + OH- --> H2O + CN-
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.

What is Hydro Cyanide?
Hydrocyanic acid, or hydrogen cyanide is a chemical compound with the formula HCN. It is a gas and a weak acid. HCN and it's salts including sodium cyanide (NaCN) and potassium cyanide (KCN) are extremely toxic.
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
What elements are in hydrocyanic acid?
hydrogen(H) and cyanide(CN) which is a polyatomic ion (made up of more than one element)
What is the formula and charge of Cyanide?
Cyanide is CN-1.
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.
