A vigorous reaction whose products will depend on the acid itself. The previous post about chlorine gas is absolute crap and should be ignored.
A deadly gas, such as hydrogen cyanide, can be formed when a strong acid, like hydrochloric acid, is mixed with a cyanide salt, like sodium cyanide. When these two substances react, they produce hydrogen cyanide gas, which is extremely toxic.
Hydrocyanic acid
The pH of cyanide is about 6.4 in water. Cyanide is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water to form hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN-).
HCN - Hydrogen cyanide The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN. HCN stands for hydrogen cyanide. The conjugate acids are a combination of a strong acid and a low base.
Cyanides are weak bases when dissolved in water pKb=4.8

When handling battery acid, wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat to prevent skin contact and inhalation of fumes. Work in a well-ventilated area and have a neutralizing agent like baking soda nearby in case of spills. When handling silver cyanide, use a fume hood to prevent inhalation of toxic cyanide gas and wear appropriate personal protective equipment to protect against skin contact. Always follow proper handling and disposal procedures as outlined in a Material Safety Data Sheet.
Hydrocyanic acid
Distilled water mixed with sulfuric acid.
Red
Add an acid and it will release cyanide gas.
No, magnesium cyanide is not an acid. It is a salt formed from the reaction between magnesium and cyanide ions. It does not donate protons in solution like acids do.
Hydrogen cyanide is commonly known as prussic acid.
The pH of cyanide is about 6.4 in water. Cyanide is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water to form hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN-).
Hydrocyanic acid, or hydrogen cyanide is a chemical compound with the formula HCN. It is a gas and a weak acid. HCN and it's salts including sodium cyanide (NaCN) and potassium cyanide (KCN) are extremely toxic.
HCN - Hydrogen cyanide The conjugate acid of CN- is HCN. HCN stands for hydrogen cyanide. The conjugate acids are a combination of a strong acid and a low base.
