Hi, I’m confused about the reaction of potassium cyanide with water. I read some seemingly contradictory information. I read that it has a reaction with water to make hydrogen cyanide gas, but then I also read that potassium cyanide only releases a gas when it is mixed with an acid. Can someone please give me some accurate information about what happens when potassium cyanide is mixed with water?
