Classify each of the following as a strong acid or a weak acid and indicate how each should be written in aqueous solution. Classify ... In solution this acid should be written as: weak 1. hydrocyanic acid H3O CN- _______ 2. hydrobromic acid

Respuesta :

Answer:

HCN, weak acid

H⁺, Br⁻, strong acid

Explanation:

Hydrocyanic acid is a weak acid, according to the following equation.

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the undissociated form (HCN).

Hydrobromic acid is a strong acid, according to the following equation.

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

Thus, it should be written in the ionic form (H⁺, Br⁻).
