Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid.
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN
NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃
CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻
Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:
Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰
Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴
Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺:
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw
</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰
Then, Kb for CN⁻:
Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw
Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

1. 3.0% ----> 3.0 kg fat= 100 kg body weigh
also remember that 1 kg= 2.20 lbs
2. 0.94 g/mL----> 0.94 grams= 1 mL
1 Liters= 1000 mL
1kg= 1000 grams
40.0 g ( 1 mole ) --------------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? ? --------------------------- 2.90x10²² molecules
mass = 2.90x10²² * 40.0 / 6.02x10²³
mass = 1.16x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³
mass = 1.9269 g
hope this helps!
