Solution

The reaction between hydrocyanic acid (HCN) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a neutralization reaction, which is a type of double displacement reaction. Here are the steps to write the net ionic equation:

  1. Write the balanced molecular equation: HCN(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCN(aq) + H2O(l)

  2. Write the total ionic equation. This involves breaking all strong electrolytes into their ions: H+(aq) + CN-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) → Na+(aq) + CN-(aq) + H2O(l)

  3. Cross out the spectator ions. These are ions that appear on both sides of the ionic equation: Na+ and CN- are spectator ions.

  4. Write the net ionic equation with the species that are not spectator ions: H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

So, the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous hydrocyanic acid and aqueous sodium hydroxide is H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l).
