Given the following information:

nitrous acid   =   HNO2
hydrocyanic acid   =   HCN


HNO2 is a stronger acid than HCN


(1) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.054 M aqueous nitrous acid and sodium cyanide are mixed. It is not necessary to include states such as (aq) or (s).

          +           --->        +         



(2) Which is the strongest base, NO2- or CN- ?         



 (3) At equilibrium the _________(reactants/products) will be favored.
