151-50-8 POTASSIUM CYANIDE FOR DUMMIES

Complementary to its reactivity towards acids, KOH assaults oxides. As a result, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to give soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to give potassium bicarbonate:Cyanide is unstable in water, even so the response is gradual until finally about 170 °C. It undergoes hydrolysis to give ammonia and formate, wh
