OCR AS Chemistry- nucleophilic subs. reaction
When writing out the mechanism for nucleophilic subsitituition between a haloalkane and nucleophile like KCN, is it fine to leave out the K ?? eg,
bromoethane with ethanolic KCN, and just show the reaction with CN?
ive seen this in vids online but idk if it is allowed in the spec

The potassium cyanide is ionic - there is no KCN. Both of the ions are dissociated. The nucleophile is CN-
