Question

Please answer this question by filling in the 4 blanks 

Consider the following list when answering the questions that follow.
C6H5CO2H, Ka = 6.3 x 10-5
C6H5CO2 - Kp = 1.6 x 10 10
%3D
CN, K = 2.5 x 10-5
HCN , Ka = 4.0 x 10-10
%3D
For the reaction between benzoic acid (CeH5CO2H) and a solution containing cyanide ions (CN" ):
(a) The name of the conjugate base produced is
(b) The name of the conjugate acid produced is
(c) The reaction is
favoured (type 'reactant' or 'product'), because the reactants are the
(type weaker or 'stronger') set of acid and base.
