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 offer soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to provide potassium bicarbonate:This is made up of the stable base (KOH) along with a weak acid (HCN).  That is used with the extraction of gold, silver, and also other metals. It is
