write the reaction with water

aaronq · Answer

a strong acid means that the eq. will lie on the right side of the forward reaction.

naturesweetie · Answer

Do you mean something like this HCN+H20---- H30+CN-

aaronq · Answer

naturesweetie · Answer

Using the equation would I take the result which is H30+CN- to the answer?

aaronq · Answer

we'll only one of the species of the products is in the questions

aaronq · Answer

naturesweetie · Answer

OH- is definitely not the answer.. Nor is HCN+... H+(H30+) is confusing me... It has the H30+  so would that be it?

aaronq · Answer

yep, $H^+$ is a shortcut, the species in solution is actually  $H_3O^+$
