What is the chemical name of HCNO?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Corrected answer:

HCN is a weak, but very toxic, acid named hydrogen cyanide.

The acid called 'Cyanic Acid' is erronously and could be structured as HCNO, though its better name is iso-cyanic acid (also very toxic).

Remeber that all '-ic' acids (cyanic -, sulfuric-, chloric acid) are of the so called group oxyacids: one or more oxygen atoms, while the '-ide' acids are without any O atoms.

Maybe, though very doubtfull , the name hydrocyanic acidcould be used for HCN (in analogy with hydrochloric acid for HCl in solution) but hydrosulfuric acid for H2S is redirected to the preferred name hydrogen sulfide.

Answer 3

HCN stands for Hydrogen cyanide , which is often referred to as prussic acid. It is an inorganic compound that is a colorless yet highly poisonous liquid that boils slightly when exposed to above room temperature.
