Aqueous solutions of NH3 and HCN react to produce NH4CN according to the following equilibrium reaction.

NH3(aq) +HCN(aq) <---> NH4+(aq) +CN-(aq)

Given the following equilibrium constants, which statement best describes the reaction once equilibrium is established? (Kw=1.01x10^-14) and why?


NH4+ Ka = 5.6x10^-10
HCN Ka=4.0x10^-10
