Answer:
The net ionic equation is as follows:
HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)
Explanation:
The reaction between Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and sodium hydroxide is a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.
Hydrocyanic acid being a weak acid ionizes only slightly, while sodium hydroxide being a strong base ionizes completely. The equation for the reaction is given below:
A. HCN(aq) + NaOH-(aq) ----> NaCN(aq) + H2O(l)
Since Hydrocyanic acid is written in the aqueous form as it ionizes only slightly and the ionic equation is given below:
HCN(aq) + Na+(aq)+OH-(aq) ----> Na+(aq)+CN-(aq) + H2O(l)
Na+ being a spectator ion is removed from the net ionic equation given below:
HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) ----> H20(l) + CN-(aq)
Ductility because ductility is the ability to be stretched and be made into wires.
