Answer : The equation for the reaction of hydrocyanic acid with sodium hydroxide is as follows:
H−C≡N(aq.)+NaOH(aq.)→ Na−C≡N(aq) +
H _(2) O (aq)

This is similar to double displacement reaction and the net ionic form of the equation can be given by :
H−C≡N (aq) +
^(-)OH (aq)
^(-)C≡N(aq)+
H _(2) O(aq)
