Silver cyanide is solua BILE in an ex-
cess of potassium cyanide and this fact
Is taken advantage OF in testing the
strength of cyanide solutions in mills
by adding, drop by drop, silver nitrate
TO solution of potassium cyanide. At
q certain point in the operation of
adding silver nitrate to 8 solution of
potassium cyanide the silver becomes
insoluble and falls to the bottom of the
vessel as q gray precipitate. The
quantity OF silver nitrate necessary to
be added before this precipitation oc-
ours is measured by means of burette !
determined. For this pur-
pose standard silver nitrate solution |
is made by dissolving 13 O6 grammes |
OF pure silver in one liter of pure |
