Identify the chemical formulas of the reactants: sodium cyanide (NaCN) and nitric acid (HNO₃).
Write the balanced molecular equation for the reaction: NaCN(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + HCN(g).
Determine the states of matter for each compound: NaCN and HNO₃ are aqueous, NaNO₃ is aqueous, and HCN is a gas.
Write the complete ionic equation by dissociating all strong electrolytes into their ions: Na⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + HCN(g).
Cancel out the spectator ions (Na⁺ and NO₃⁻) to write the net ionic equation: CN⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → HCN(g).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Net Ionic Equations

Net ionic equations represent the actual chemical species that participate in a reaction, excluding spectator ions. They are derived from complete ionic equations by removing ions that do not change during the reaction. This simplification helps to focus on the essential chemical changes occurring in the solution.

Net Ionic Equations

Acid-Base Reactions

Acid-base reactions involve the transfer of protons (H+) between reactants. In this context, nitric acid (a strong acid) donates protons, while sodium cyanide can act as a weak base. Understanding the behavior of acids and bases is crucial for predicting the products of their reactions.

Solubility Rules

Solubility rules help predict whether a compound will dissolve in water or form a precipitate. For example, sodium salts are generally soluble, while certain metal cyanides may not be. Knowing these rules is essential for determining the species present in solution and writing accurate net ionic equations.
