$(i)$ $\begin{gathered}
HCN\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right) \rightleftharpoons {H_3}{O^ + }\left( {aq} \right) + C{N^ - }\left( {aq} \right) \hfill \\
{K_a} = 6.2 \times {10^{ - 10}} \hfill \\
\end{gathered} $
$(ii)$ $\begin{gathered}
C{N^ - }\left( {aq} \right) + {H_2}O\left( l \right) \rightleftharpoons HCN\left( {aq} \right) + O{H^ - }\left( {aq} \right) \hfill \\
{K_b} = 1.6 \times {10^{ - 5}} \hfill \\

These equilibria show the following order of the relative base strength
$\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{C{H_3} - CH - CH - CH - C{H_3}} \\
{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,} \\
{OH\,\,\,\,\,\,\,OH\,\,\,\,\,OH\,\,}
\end{array}$
