Zinc is used to precipitate gold from gold cyanide. Zinc will react to form zinc cyanide.
Zinc is cheaper than copper.
Magnesium and gold and silver. Even some copper can be used to make certain types
One possibility is Cu + AgNO3 => Ag + CuNO3.
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
If the silver nitrate is in aqueous solution and the copper is solid in contact with the solution of silver nitrate, copper atoms will dissolve as ions from the surface of the copper and be replaced by silver atoms formed from the silver ions in solution. This reaction will continue until the entire surface of the copper in contact with the solution is covered with silver. The chemical driving force for this reaction is displacement of one element from its compounds by another element that is higher in the electromotive series than the element displaced.
Suspend a copper wire in a solution of silver nitrate. Over the course of a few hours the silver nitrate will convert to copper II nitrate, turning the solution blue. Elemental silver will precipitate.
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
Lime is used in gold mining to help control the pH levels of the cyanide solution used to dissolve and extract gold from the ore. Proper pH levels are critical for the efficient extraction of gold, as it helps to prevent the production of toxic hydrogen cyanide gas and ensures the stability of the gold-cyanide complex. Lime also helps to neutralize any acidic compounds present in the ore, making the extraction process more effective.

Yes, silver potassium cyanide is highly toxic. It can release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas if it comes into contact with acids or water, leading to serious health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound.
Silver cyanide is a compound formed by combining silver with cyanide, whereas gold cyanide is a compound formed by combining gold with cyanide. Both compounds are used in electroplating processes, but gold cyanide is more commonly used in the mining industry for extracting gold from ore due to its higher stability.
