How do yu make cyanide?

Answer 1

Cyanide is usually made using ammonia, methane, and oxygen with a platinum catalyst.

2CH4 + 2 NH3 + 3O2 --> 2HCN + 6 H2O

The cyanide is in the form of hydrogen cyanide, which is liquid at room temperature, but will readily become a gas.

The common solid, water-soluble forms of potassium cyanide (KCN) and sodium cyanide (NaCN) are made by reacting hydrogen cyanide with the corresponding hydroxide in water. For example:

KOH + HCN --> KCN + H2O.

Answer 2

The term cyanide typically refers to the compound HCN which is called hydrogen cyanide or hydrocyanic acid. It is composed of hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.

Sodium cyanide (NaCN) and Potassium cyanide (KCN) are also common forms of it.

Answer 3

A compound containing the cyanide ion (CN-) as: HCN, KCN, NaCN.

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure that cyanide can be ingested.
