About SODIUM CYANIDE 97% AR-ACS

Sodium Cyanide 97% AR-ACS is a high-purity chemical widely used in industrial applications, including gold and silver extraction, electroplating, and organic synthesis. Presented as a white crystalline solid in granular or powder form, this compound has a density of 1.595 g/cm and is highly soluble in water with a pH range of 11.0-12.0 for a 1% solution. Known for its bitter metallic taste and faint almond-like odor, it is a highly toxic substance that reacts with moisture and acids to release hydrogen cyanide gas. Its molecular formula is NaCN, with a molecular weight of 49.01 g/mol and a melting point of 563C (decomposing beyond this point). Designed for industrial use only, Sodium Cyanide exhibits exceptional performance in chemical manufacturing and mining processes. Proper storage in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from incompatible substances is essential to maintain its qualities and 2-year shelf life. This product is compliant with AR (Analytical Reagent) and ACS (American Chemical Society) grades, making it reliable for high-precision applications.
