Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. Write a net ionic
equation for the reaction of aqueous hydrocyanic acid and aqueous
sodium hydroxide.
General balanced equation is:
HCN(aq) + NaOH(aq) --------------> NaCN(aq) + H2O (aq)
And the ionic equation is:
H+ (aq) + CN- (aq) + Na+(aq) + -OH(aq) --------------> Na+(aq) + -CN(aq) + H+ (aq) + -OH (aq)
