Product Description

Buy sodium cyanide (Comprar cianuro de sodio)

Sodium cyanide contains an equal number of sodium cations and cyanide anions. NaCN is also seen as an inorganic compound with the formula NaCN.  It is a white, water-soluble solid. NaCN has a high affinity for metals, which leads to the high toxicity of this salt. Its main application, in gold mining, also exploits its high reactivity toward metals. It is a moderately strong base.

Health hazards

Sodium cyanide is extremely toxic. The safe amount of oral lethal dose in humans is considered to be less than 5 mg/kg for a 70 kg person. This compound is fatal when inhaled, absorbed through the skin, or swallowed. Contact with it can cause burns to the eyes and skin. It is toxic when inhaled, ingested or in contact with vapours, or dusts and may result in death. On reacting with moist air or water it releases corrosive, flammable, toxic gases.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs

Q1

What are the uses of NaCN?

In the mining industry, sodium cyanide is primarily used to extract gold and other precious metals. This application takes advantage of the high affinity of gold(I) towards cyanide, which causes gold metal to oxidize and dissolve in the presence of air (oxygen) and water, creating gold cyanide (or gold NaCN) and sodium hydroxide
Q2

Is NaCN toxic?

Along with other soluble cyanide salts, NaCN is among the fastest-acting of all known poisons. NaCN is a potent respiratory inhibitor that acts on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase and thus inhibits the transport of electrons. It results in less oxidative metabolism and reduced use of oxygen.
Q3

How is NaCN prepared?

NaCN is usually prepared by reacting sodium hydroxide with hydrogen cyanide. The resulting double displacement reaction yields water and NaCN as the products.
