For the ionization constant for acetic acid is 1.8 x 10-5; that for hydrocyanic acid is 4 x 10-10, The solution is basic due to the generation of OH– ions.
What is an Ionization constant?
ionization constant is simply defined as a constant that relies on the equilibrium that exists b/w ions and molecules of solution.
Generally, the equation for the Chemical reaction is mathematically given as
CH3C.O .O + H2_O ----> CH3COOH + O.H
Therefore
the anion C...N– receives H+ ion from water as it goes through hydrolysis.
Hence
xN– + H2..O ----><---- HxN + O..H–
In conclusion, The solution is basic due to the generation of OH– ions.
