HCN is a Bronsted acid; it can dissociate into H+ and CN-. And H+ is a Lewis acid because it accepts election pairs. ... In order for H+ and CN- to be formed, Hydrogen in HCN donates its electrons to Carbon. So in this sense, Hydrogen is the lewis base and Carbon is the lewis acid.
C6H5 is the molecular formula for Phenyl.
This is an acid – base reaction and this always result a salt and water
in a neutralization reaction. <span>
The salt that is formed will be calcium bromide (calcium
is located in group 2 so calcium bromide has a formula of CaBr2)
so essentially we got:
HBr + Ca(OH)2 ------> CaBr2 + H2O </span>
balancing the elements: <span>
<span>2HBr(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) --------> CaBr2(aq) +
2H2O(l)</span></span>
A catalyst will speed up the activation energy and therefore speed up the reaction. The products will form fast because of this.
