Answer:

HSCN (aq) + H₂O(l)  ⇄  SCN⁻(aq)  +  H₃O⁺(aq)    Ka

SCN⁻ (aq) +  H₂O(l)  ⇄  HSCN (aq)  +  OH⁻(aq)    Kb

Explanation:

We identify the formula:

HSCN → hydrogen thiocyanate which is also known as Thiocyanic acid

HSCN (aq) + H₂O(l)  ⇄  SCN⁻(aq)  +  H₃O⁺(aq)    Ka

As an acid, it gives proton to the solution. It is a weak acid, because the Ka

Ka = [SCN⁻] . [H₃O⁺] / [HSCN]

As a weak acid, the thiocyanate ion, will be the conjugate strong base. In water It can make hydrolisis:

SCN⁻ (aq) +  H₂O(l)  ⇄  HSCN (aq)  +  OH⁻(aq)    Kb

As a base, it takes a proton from water.

Kb = [HSCN] . [OH⁻] / [SCN⁻]

H-S-C-N is the structure of hydro-thi-ocyanate.

H-S-C-N structure:

1. combines with water, it produces the ion thiocyanate and the ion hydronium.

2. When thiocyanate combines with water, it produces the ion hydrogen thiocyanate and the ion hydroxy.
