Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The net ionic equation for the neutralization reaction of HCN(aq) with NaOH(aq) can be written as:
HCN(aq) + OH-(aq) --> CN-(aq) + H2O(l)
This equation shows that the hydrogen ion from HCN combines with the hydroxide ion from NaOH to form water, while the remaining ions (CN- from NaCN and Na+ from NaOH) do not play a role in the reaction and can be ignored in the net ionic equation. Therefore, option C is the best choice as it shows only the relevant ions involved in the reaction.
