Question

Hydrogen cyanide is a poisonous gas at room temperature. When the gas dissolved in water, the following reactions occur:

Identify the conjugate base pairs

anonymous · Answer

I assume this is the reaction 
HCN+H2O -> H3O+ + CN-
CN- is conjugate base of HCN, HCN is the conjugate acid of CN-
H3O+ is conjugate acid of H2O and H2O is conjugate base of H3O+

anonymous · Answer

how did you figure it out

anonymous · Answer

Basically an acid with its H+removed is a conjugate base of the acid. and a base with a H+ added to it is a conjugate acid of the base.

shankvee....?

anonymous · Answer

ok so um how do you know which one is the donor and which is the acceptor

anonymous · Answer

HCN became CN- it lost H+ so its a H+ donor.

anonymous · Answer

H2O became H3O+ so its a proton acceptor.

anonymous · Answer

can you do the other one for me in this group 
i wanna see if i got the right answer
