2. Consider the reaction of cyanide ion (CN) with water, where cyanide ion is either a weak acid or a weak base.
a) Select the correct chemical equation for the acid/base dissociation reaction of cyanide ion in water:
OCN- (aq) + H₂O (/) HCN (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
OCN- (aq) + H₂O (/) = H₂CN+ (aq) + OH¯ (aq)
OCN- (aq) + H₂O (/) = H₂CN+ (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
OCN- (aq) + H₂O (/) HCN (aq) + OH- (aq)
Incorrect. Tries 3/3 Previous Tries
