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
Chemical equation a 2 before O, giving the balanced equation: This equation does not have any coefficients in front of CH and CO, since a coefficient of 1 is dropped. Generally, any chemical equation involving "J" different molecules can be written as: where "R" is the symbol for the "j-th" molecule, and ν is the stoichiometric coefficient for the "j-th" molecule, positive for products, negative for reactants (or vice versa). A properly balanced chemical equation will then obey: where the composition matrix "a" is the number of atoms of element "i" in molecule "j". Any vector which, when operated upon by the
