Given the following information: benzoic acid = C6H5COOH hydrocyanic acid = HCN C6H5COOH is a stronger acid than HCN (1) Write the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when equal volumes of 0.050 M aqueous benzoic acid and sodium cyanide are mixed. It is not necessary to include states such as (aq) or (s).
