Question

Assume that an aqueous solution of hydroxide ion, OH-, represented by unshaded spheres, is allowed to mix with a solution of an acid, HnA, represented by gray spheres. Three possible outcomes are represented by boxes (a)-(c), where the black spheres represent An-, the anion of the acid. For clarity H2O molecules are not shown.

Which outcome corresponds to the reaction:
HCN + OH- -> H2O + CN-?
A) box (a)
B) box (b)
C) box (c)
