Silver cyanide reaction with other anions. Some silver cyanides are luminescent. Both AgCN and KAg(CN) have been used in silver-plating solutions since at least 1840 when the Elkington brothers patented their recipe for a silver-plating solution. A typical, traditional silver-plating solution would contain KAg(CN) 15-40 gL, KCN 12-120 gL and KCO gL. Silver cyanide Silver cyanide is the chemical compound with the formula AgCN. This white solid forms upon treatment of solutions containing Ag with cyanide. This precipitation step is used in some schemes to recover silver from solution. Silver cyanide is used in silver-plating. Its structure consist of -[Ag-CN]- chains in
Symbol grounding problem suggested two properties that might be required to make this difference: One property that static paper or, usually, even a dynamic computer lack that the brain possesses is the capacity to pick out symbols' referents. This is what we were discussing earlier, and it is what the hitherto undefined term "grounding" refers to. A symbol system alone, whether static or dynamic, cannot have this capacity (any more than a book can), because picking out referents is not just a computational (implementation-independent) property; it is a dynamical (implementation-dependent) property. To be grounded, the symbol system would have to be augmented with
