    For the hydrolysis reaction \[C{{N}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}OHCN+O{{H}^{-}}\] Which of the following relationship is not applicable?

    A)  \[{{K}_{h}}=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{\sqrt{{{K}_{a}}(HCN)}}\]

    B)  \[h=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{h}}}{C}}\]

    C)  \[pH=\frac{1}{2}p{{K}_{a}}(HCN)\]

    D)  \[{{H}^{+}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{w}}\times {{K}_{a}}}{C}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[C{{N}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}OHCN+O{{H}^{-}}\] This is the salt of weak acid and strong base. Hence, \[{{K}_{h}}=\frac{{{K}_{w}}}{{{K}_{a}}(HCN)}\] \[h=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{h}}}{C}}\] and        \[{{K}_{w}}={{K}_{h}}\times {{K}_{a}}\] then       \[[{{H}^{+}}]=\sqrt{\frac{{{K}_{w}}\times {{K}_{a}}}{C}}\]
