The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the loss of a proton from cyanic acid and isocyanic acid, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the structure of Cyanic Acid Cyanic acid (H-O-C≡N) has the following structure: - A hydroxyl group (-OH) - A carbon atom connected to a nitrogen atom via a triple bond (C≡N) ### Step 2: Loss of Proton from Cyanic Acid When cyanic acid loses a proton (H⁺), the hydroxyl group (-OH) will lose its hydrogen: - The resulting species will be: O⁻-C≡N - This can also be represented as: C≡N⁻ (the negative charge is on the oxygen atom). ### Step 3: Identify the structure of Isocyanic Acid Isocyanic acid (H-N=C=O) has the following structure: - An amine group (-NH) - A carbon atom connected to an oxygen atom via a double bond (C=O) ### Step 4: Loss of Proton from Isocyanic Acid When isocyanic acid loses a proton (H⁺), the amine group (-NH) will lose its hydrogen: - The resulting species will be: N⁻=C=O - This can also be represented as: N≡C=O⁻ (the negative charge is on the nitrogen atom). ### Step 5: Compare the Anions Now we compare the anions produced from both acids: - From Cyanic acid: C≡N⁻ (cyanide ion) - From Isocyanic acid: N≡C=O⁻ (isocyanate ion) ### Conclusion Both acids produce different anions upon losing a proton. Therefore, the answer to the question is that the loss of a proton from these two acids produces different anions.
