When potassium cyanide (KCN) is added to water, it dissociates into potassium ions (K+) and cyanide ions (CN-). These ions can then react with water molecules to form stable complexes, such as potassium cyanide ion or hydrocyanic acid, depending on the concentration and pH of the solution. This reaction releases cyanide ions, which can be highly toxic.
