Question

Given the following information:


(1) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.366 M aqueous hydrocyanic acid and sodium acetate are mixed. It is not necessary to include states such as (aq) or (s).

(2) At equilibrium the _________reactantsproducts will be favored.

(3) The pH of the resulting solution will be _________greater thanequal toless than seven.

Image is not needed it is just where you input your answer

hydrocyanic acid HCN Ka = 4.0×10-10 acetic acid CH3COOH Ka = 1.8×10-5

Explanation / Answer

1)

net ionic equation:

HCN (aq ) + CH3COO- (aq) ------------------------> CH3COOH (aq) + CN- (aq)

CH3COOH is stronger acid than HCN.

so reverse reaction will be favourable

2)

at equilibrium reactatns are favoured

3)

pH of soultion should be greater than 7

because CN- involve in hydrolysis process . and OH- will be produced

CN- + H2O ---------------------> HCN + OH-
