In the equation HCN + OH⁻ ⇄ H₂O + CN⁻,  the Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases are C) acids HCN, H₂O; bases OH⁻, CN⁻.

According to Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a species that donates H⁺.
  • A base is a species that accepts H⁺.

Let's consider the following equation.

HCN + OH⁻ ⇄ H₂O + CN⁻

We can see that:

  • HCN donates H⁺ to OH⁻, so it is an acid.
  • OH⁻ accepts H⁺ from HCN, so it is a base.
  • H₂O donates H⁺ to CN⁻, so it is an acid.
  • CN⁻ accepts H⁺ from H₂O, so it is a base.

In the equation HCN + OH⁻ ⇄ H₂O + CN⁻,  the Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases are C) acids HCN, H₂O; bases OH⁻, CN⁻.
