Formula for silver cyanide?
AgCN
What industries widely use cyanide compounds?
The main uses are the gold and silver extraction; also as precursor of nylon.
What would you tell an engineer who has suggested a design for a new battery using silver for both electrodes?
There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).
When alkyl halide reacts with silver cyanide why alkyl isocyanide is obtain instead of alkyl cyanide?
KCN + RCl ------------>RCN + KCl : this is in aqueous medium. here K+ ions displace the less electropositive R+ ions and hence the rxn is a simple rxn of alkyl halides. AgCN + RCL --------------> R=N-->C + AgCl : but this rxn is in alcoholic medium. N & C ions can both donate a lone pair of electrons. such groups are called ambident nucleophile
Where can you see silver dissolving in cyanide?
You don't dissolve anything IN cyanide as it is mostly stored as a sodium or potassium salt. I guess if you exposed such a salt to acid you could get a mildly acidic solvent akin to acetonitrile, but I doubt it. To dissolve elemental silver, you just need something which "more willing to take electrons than elemental silver is willing to keep them" (electro potential dumbed down a bit) I think that hydrochloride acid readily dissolves silver, as does any acid, as the proton (H+ / H3O+) is a sufficiently strong oxidizer. Or maybe I am think of nitric acid. But still I think that the proton is the actual oxidizer, it is for iron, copper and aluminium, I know without looking at tables, so I bet silver is oxidized by the proton too, OR the nitrate ion is the oxidized. If HCl where used the result would NOT be dissolving of silver, as AgCl is very insoluble in water, the silver would just be converted to a white precipitate. IF the proton has a high enough potential, someone look it up. Cyanide I would guess does NOT oxidize elemtal silver, as the compund is very electron rich with the tripple bond, I would guess is was a mild reducing agent rather than an oxidizing agent, but look it up, I never finished my chemistry degree, so...:D
Can you ship battery acid with dry silver cyanide?
no
What is the formula for silver cyanide?
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
What will battery acid and silver cyanide do if they are mixed?
A vigorous reaction whose products will depend on the acid itself. The previous post about chlorine gas is absolute crap and should be ignored.
What is the name of AgCNS?
Silvger (Ag) Carbon (C) Nitrogen (N) WRONG Silver (Ag) CN is cyanide Thus Silver Cyanide
What is the formula of silver cyanide?
AgCn

Is silver potassium cyanide poison?
If an animal that weighs 200 lbs and injested 10mg. of Silver Potassium Cyanide, what would happen?
What is the difference between silver cyanide and gold cyanide?
The cyanide radical consists of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom, and has a -1 charge. It's CN- as we write it. The only difference between silver and gold cyanide is the silver and the gold. Both precious metals will form a bond with the radical in their +1 valence state, so the observer will see either AgCN or AuCN molecules. The former is, of course, silver cyanide, and the latter is gold cyanide.
Chemical formula for silver cyanide?
AgCN
What is the equation for silver cyanate?
Well this is quite a good question when i was in high school which was many years ago i learnt all this stuff. The answer is that Silver cyanide is the chemical compound with the formula AgCN. This white solid forms upon treatment of solutions containing Ag+ with cyanide. This precipitation step is used in some schemes to recover silver from solution. Silver cyanide is used in silver-plating
Is cyanide found in Gold and silver mining operations?
No. It is used in the refining and fracturing processing the ore to get the Gold out of the base rock. Cyanide is used in a utility capacity, it is not a Gold or Silver by-product.
