It is weakly acidic but extremely poisonous, though. ;)
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak 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.
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.
HCN is a weak acid. It dissociates partially in water to form the hydronium ion and the cyanide ion. It is soluble in water.
The conjugate base of CN- is HCN (hydrogen cyanide). When CN- accepts a proton, it becomes neutral and forms the weak acid HCN.
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.
it's an acid i believe
HCN is an acid; KClO3 is a salt.

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

No, CN- is not an acid. It is a cyanide ion, which is a base due to its ability to accept a proton.
KCN is a basic salt because it is formed from a strong base (potassium hydroxide, KOH) and a weak acid (hydrogen cyanide, HCN). It will behave as a base in aqueous solution, producing hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.
Yes, HCN is a weak acid. It is a binary acid composed of hydrogen and cyanide, and it can partially ionize in water to release H+ ions.
