What chemical can be used in jewelry making to replace Potassium Cyanide to frost polished silver?
Magnesium and gold and silver. Even some copper can be used to make certain types
In the refining of silver the recovery of silver from silver nitrate solution involved displacement by copper metal write down the reaction involved?
One possibility is Cu + AgNO3 => Ag + CuNO3.
Copper plus silver nitrate?
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
When copper reacts with silver nitrate what element is set free?
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.
Is silver more reactive than copper?
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.
What is the formula for silver cyanide?
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
Why is lime used in gold mining?
Lime is used extensively in the recovery of gold and silver. Ores, either run of mine, milled, autoclaved, or roasted are combined with lime and a cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold and silver. Lime maintains proper pH in the cyanide solution keeping it in the liquid phase, preventing the formation of hydrogen cyanide gas and its loss into the atmosphere. hari julka

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
Can you ship battery acid with dry silver cyanide?
