What are the products when potassium cyanide reacts with hydrobromic acid? What type of reaction is this?

Answer 1

#"An acid base reaction............"#

Additionally, it's a reaction to avoid; I believe that at one point in penitentiaries, they employed the following procedure to turn individuals off, or execute them:

#KC-=N(aq) + HCl(aq) rarr HC-=N(g)uarr + KCl(aq)#

Which then makes up the base and which the acid?

In a double displacement reaction, potassium cyanide and hydrobromic acid yield potassium bromide and hydrogen cyanide.
