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.
To quench NaCN (sodium cyanide), it can be safely done by adding an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. The acid will react with the cyanide ion to form a less toxic compound, reducing its potential harm to the environment and living organisms. It is important to follow safety protocols and guidelines when handling and disposing of cyanide compounds.
Yes, NACN is a strong nucleophile.
NaCN is the chemical formula of sodium cyanide, a very toxic substance.
The bond between the molecules in NaCN is strong.
Acid + base conjugate base + conjugate acid
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.

Examples of poisonous salts: KCN, HgCl2, NaCN.
Acetamide is a weak base. It can undergo protonation to form the conjugate acid, acetic acid, in acidic solutions.
A Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction involves the transfer of a proton (H+) from the acid to the base. The acid donates a proton, while the base accepts a proton. This results in the formation of a conjugate base from the acid and a conjugate acid from the base.
The base which a certain acid turns into.Every acid had a conjugate base:HX (acid) X- (conjugate base)The acid is also called the base's conjugate acid.
An acid base imbalance can result in
