balanced chemical equation for the reaction of the weak acid, HCN with water. include the phases of each species
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of the weak acid, HCN (hydrogen cyanide), with water can be represented as follows:
HCN(l) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + CN-(aq)
Note:
- (l) represents the liquid phase for HCN and water.
- (aq) denotes the aqueous phase for H3O+ (hydronium ion) and CN- (cyanide ion).
