What sorts of informations you can draw from the following reaction ? (CN)_(2)(g) + 2OH^(-) (aq) to CN^(-) (aq) + CNO^(-) (aq) + H_(2)O(1)

What sorts of informations you can draw from the following reaction ?

1.	What sorts of informations you can draw from the following reaction ? (CN)_(2)(g) + 2OH^(-) (aq) to CN^(-) (aq) + CNO^(-) (aq) + H_(2)O(1)
Answer» SOLUTION :It is a disproportionation REACTION in which `(CN)_(2)` is SIMULTANEOUSLY reduced to `CN^(-)` ION and oxidised to `CNO^(-)` ion The reaction is taking place in basic medium.
