An aqueous mixture of hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and ammonia, NH3, has initial concentrations of 0.100 mol L-1 HCN(aq) and 0.140 mol L-1 NH3(aq). At equilibrium, the CN-(aq) concentration is 0.055 mol L-1. What is the value of K for the reaction between hydrocyanic acid, HCN, and ammonia, NH3, which is shown here? HCN(aq)  +  NH3(aq)  ⇌⇌   CN-(aq)  +  NH4+(aq)
