Chapter 2.9, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction

a) HCN+CH3CO2-Na+----->Na+CN-+CH3CO2H

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction, HCN+CH3CO2-Na+----->Na+CN-+CH3CO2H will take place to a significant extent as written is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A strong acid will always donate a proton to a strong base. That is, an acid will donate a proton to the conjucate base of a weak acid. In other words the conjucate base of a weaker acid will remove a proton from stronger acid.

To determine:

Whether the reaction, HCN + CH3CO2-Na+----->Na+CN- + CH3CO2H will take place to a significant extent as written.

Interpretation Introduction

b) CH3CH2OH+Na+CN------->CH3CH2O-Na++HCN

Interpretation:

Whether the reaction, CH3CH2OH+Na+CN------->CH3CH2O-Na++HCN will take place to a significant extent as written is to be stated.
