The amount of Hcn formed in grams is = 0.06223 grams
calculation
write the equation for reaction
that is; KCn + HCl → KCl + HCn
step 1:find the moles of KCn reacted
moles of KCn = mass of KCn/molar mass of KCn( 65.12 g/mol)
= 0.150 g/ 65.12 g/mol =2.303 x10^-3 moles
step 2: use the mole ratio between KCn :HCn which is 1:1 to determine the moles of HCn which is also 2.303 x 10^-3 moles
step 3: find the mass of HCn =moles of HCn x molar mass of HCn
= 2.303 x10^-3 x 27. 02 =0.06223 grams
