ABOUT IS POTASSIUM CYANIDE POISONOUS

Complementary to its reactivity towards acids, KOH attacks oxides. So, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to offer soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to give potassium bicarbonate:Due to cyanide anion's high nucleophilicity, cyano groups are conveniently released into organic molecules by displacement of a halide group (e.Read online
