CN−(aq)+H2O(l)⇌HCN(aq)+OH−(aq)CN−(aq)+H2O(l)⇌HCN(aq)+OH−(aq) Check all that apply. Check all that apply. HCN/OH−HCN/OH− HCN/CN−HCN/CN− H2O/CN−H2O/CN− H2O/OH−

Answer 1

The correct answer is
`HCN/CN^- , H_2O/OH^-`

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

`CN^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HCN(aq)+OH^-(aq)`

`CN^-` = Bronsted-Lowry base

`H_2O` = Bronsted-Lowry acid

`HCN` = Conjugate acid

`OH^-` = Conjugate base

The correct answer is
`HCN/CN^- , H_2O/OH^-`
