LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT POTASSIUM CYANIDE VS SODIUM CYANIDE.

Complementary to its reactivity towards acids, KOH assaults oxides. Hence, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to present soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to present potassium bicarbonate:Due to the cyanide anion's superior nucleophilicity, cyano groups are easily introduced into organic and natural molecules by displacement of the h
