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