Question

The following three equations represent equilibria that lie far to the right.
HNO₃(aq) + CN^-(aq)

The following three equations represent equilibria that lie far to the right. HNO<sub>3</sub>(aq) + CN<sup>-</sup>(aq) HCN(aq) + NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup>(aq) HCN(aq) + OH<sup>-</sup>(aq) H<sub>2</sub>O(l) + CN<sup>-</sup>(aq) H<sub>2</sub>O(l) + CH<sub>3</sub>O<sup>-</sup>(aq) CH<sub>3</sub>OH(aq) + OH<sup>-</sup>(aq) -Identify the strongest acid. A) HCN B) HNO<sub>3</sub> C) H<sub>2</sub>O D) OH<sup>-</sup> E) CH<sub>3</sub>OH

HCN(aq) + NO₃^-(aq)
HCN(aq) + OH^-(aq)

H₂O(l) + CN^-(aq)
H₂O(l) + CH₃O^-(aq)

CH₃OH(aq) + OH^-(aq)
-Identify the strongest acid.

HNOS (with the given Unicode subscripts and superscripts, which seem to be formatting errors) is intended to represent HNO3, nitric acid, which is a strong acid. The other options, such as HCN (hydrocyanic acid), H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), OH (hydroxide, which is a base rather than an acid), and CH3OH (methanol, which is not a strong acid), do not represent acids stronger than HNO3. H2SO4 is a strong acid, but in the context of the options provided and assuming a typo in the representation, HNO3 is identified as the strongest acid among the given choices.
