You want to know manufacturing process of gold potassium cyanide electrolytically in detail?

give me balanced equation for potassium gold cyanide? give me balanced equation for potassium gold cyanide?


What the name of KCN?

Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.


In electroplating of gold which electrolyte is used?

The most useful: GPC, gold potassium cyanide solution gold ammonium sulfite solution


What is the taste of Potassium cyanide?

Potassium cyanide is the inorganic compound with the formula KCN. This colorless crystalline compound, similar in appearance to sugar, is highly soluble in water. The vast majority of KCN is used in gold mining followed by use in organic synthesis, and electroplating. Smaller applications include jewelry for chemical gilding and buffing. Highly toxic, KCN is odorless but due to hydrolysis, solids emit small amounts of hydrogen cyanide, which smells like bitter almonds (not everyone can smell it-the ability thereof is due to a genetic trait.). It is also used by entomologists as a killing agent in collecting jars, as most insects succumb within seconds, minimizing damage of even the most fragile types.


Which is less reactive gold or platinum?

Platinum is less reactive, by reacting with aqua regia only in the hot while gold not. Platinum potassium cyanide is not known while Gold potassium cyanide is obtained quite simply. In contrast, Platinum is somewhat lower on the electromotive scale - 1.2v against 1.5-1.6v for gold

How does the element gold affect the environment?

Gold don't affect the environment; but the the mercury or sodium (potassium) cyanide used for gold extraction are dangerous materials.


Can you make potassium cyanide un poisonous?

No. As long as it remains potassium cyanide, there is fatal potential.


What happens when copper metal reacts with potassium cyanide?

Copper metal is less reactive than potassium so it will not react with potassium cyanide.


Is potassium aurocyanide used as an electrolyte in electroplating of gold?

A common electrolyte bath will normally contain either a potassium-cyanide solution or a cyanide-free solution based on sulfites or chlorides.


What is the formula for the compound that forms from potassium and cyanide?

To answer this you need a roman numeral on gold to know the charge on it. Assuming it would be (I)... the formula would be KAu(CN)2


Would potassium chloride and cyanide interfere if taken at the same time?

No. Potassium chloride will not protect you from the poisonous effects of potassium cyanide, in any way.
