When aqueous solutions of sodium cyanide and hydrobromic acid are mixed, an aqueous solution of sodium bromide and hydrocyanic acid results. Write the net ionic equation for the reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

CN⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → HCN(l)

Explanation:

The reactants are aqueous solutions:

NaCN(aq) and HBr(aq)

When you mix these compounds you make pure HCN (l)

The molecular equation is:

NaCN(aq) + HBr(aq) → NaBr(aq) + HCN(l)

When you dissociate the reactants, you have:

Na⁺(aq) +CN⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq) + HCN(l)

Sodium bromide, it is a salt, that can also be dissociated in the solution

To make, the net ionic equation you remove the repeated ions

CN⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → HCN(l)
