Which of the following,in aqueous solution,is most likely to behave as a weak acid? A)HCl B)HCN C)NaCl D)NaCN E)NH₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HCN is a weak acid because it can partially dissociate in water to produce hydronium ions (H+) and CN- ions. HCl is a strong acid and dissociates completely in water to produce H+ and Cl- ions. NaCl and NaCN are both salts and do not behave as acids or bases in aqueous solution. NH₃ is not a valid substance.
