POTASSIUM CYANIDE FOUND IN NATURE FOR DUMMIES

Potassium cyanide (KCN) was a very important source of alkali metal cyanides ahead of the invention with the Castner procedure. It absolutely was produced by the decomposition of potassium ferrocyanide. The reaction is as follows:The aqueous Option of the substances is strongly alkaline and undergoes rapid hydrolysis, rendering it a flexible nevert
