zinc cyanide is prepared by reaciot of ono mole zinc salt ( chloride /sulphate) with two mole sodium cyanide.

It can also be prepared directly by reaction of zinc oxide with hydrogen cyanide in presence of a little acetic acid.

Add two moles of chlorine (Cl) for every mole of zinc (Zn).

Zn + Cl2 --> ZnCl2. Know that pure chlorine bonds with itself to form the chlorine gas Cl2, so practically for every mole of zinc (Zn) functional units add one mole of chlorine gas (Cl2) functional units.

136.2g of zinc chloride powder added into 2ml 12M HCl (powder must be added to acid not the other way around, safety first and all). Make up to 1 litre with water. Always remember acids get added to water to cool it down, not the other way around.
