EXAMINE THIS REPORT ON POTASSIUM CYANIDE DISSOLVED IN WATER

Complementary to its reactivity towards acids, KOH attacks oxides. Thus, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to provide soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to present potassium bicarbonate:Cyanide is unstable in water, even so the response is gradual until eventually about a hundred and seventy °C. It undergoes hydrolysis to present a
