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 chemical name of HCNO?

The name of this acid is Hydrocyanic acid. However, you have to specify that it is an aqueous compound. If you do not specify so then the name of this compound become hydrogen cyanide. Be careful next time


What are the bases mixed to make a deadly gas?

A deadly gas, such as hydrogen cyanide, can be formed when a strong acid, like hydrochloric acid, is mixed with a cyanide salt, like sodium cyanide. When these two substances react, they produce hydrogen cyanide gas, which is extremely toxic.


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.

What is the pH of cyanide?

The pH of cyanide is about 6.4 in water. Cyanide is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water to form hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN-).


What is the charge of hydrocyanic acid?

Hydrocyanic acid, also known as hydrogen cyanide, has a neutral charge because it consists of one hydrogen atom (with a charge of +1) and one cyanide ion (with a charge of -1), balancing each other out to give a net charge of zero.


What is the scientific name of puristic acid?

There is no such acid. You may be confused with prussic acid, the acidic solution of hydrogen cyanide.


How do yu make cyanide?

Cyanide is usually made using ammonia, methane, and oxygen with a platinum catalyst. 2CH4 + 2 NH3 + 3O2 --> 2HCN + 6 H2O The cyanide is in the form of hydrogen cyanide, which is liquid at room temperature, but will readily become a gas. The common solid, water-soluble forms of potassium cyanide (KCN) and sodium cyanide (NaCN) are made by reacting hydrogen cyanide with the corresponding hydroxide in water. For example: KOH + HCN --> KCN + H2O.
