In: Chemistry
hcn is a weak acid that ionizes in water to a small extent.
Addition of NaCl to an aqueous solution of hcn will cause the
equilibrium of the reaction to shift towards the ______due to the
presence of a ________.
common ion
reactant
product
spectator ion
HCN ------> H+ +CN-
NaCl -----> Na+ + Cl- in aquous solution to form HCl
HCl ------> H+ + Cl-
commom ion is H+ equilibrium shit towards the reactant side due to the presence of commom ion H+ concnetrtion of products are increases .So equilibrium shift to the reactant side
