Carbon cyanide

Silver compounds, available from commercial suppHers, are expensive. Reagent grades of sHver(I) carbonate, cyanide, diethjldithiocarbamate, iodate, nitrate, oxide, phosphate, and sulfate are available. Standardized solutions of silver nitrate are also available for analytical uses. Purified grades of sHver(I) acetate, bromide, cyanide, and iodide can be purchased silver nitrate is also made as a USP XX grade for medicinal uses (6). 

In addition to the above two commonly found impurities, there are a number of other acid radical impurities which exist in pharmaceutical substances, namely arsenate, carbonate, cyanide, nitrate, oxalate, phosphate and silicate. 

As evaporation proceeded, sodium chloride began to precipitate and later potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. The mother liquor then contained the iodides of sodium and postassium, part of the sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, cyanides, polysulfides, and some sulfites and hyposulfites resulting from the reduction of sulfates during calcination. 

If the powder bums in the open potassium sulphide is oxidized to sulphate. When blackpowder burns slowly the products, apart from carbon, include such components as potassium sulphide, sulphate, carbonate, cyanide, nitrate and nitrite. 

You have already met cyanide (p. 119), a carbon nucleophile that really does have a lone pair on carbon. Cyanide s lone pair is stabilized by being in a lower-energy sp orbital (ratherthan sp3) and by having the electronegative nitrogen atom triply bonded to the carbon. 

Carbene carbon. Carbonyl carbon. COD = 1.5-cyclooctadiene. CioHja = cyclopen tad iene dimer. Carbon trans to phosphorus or arsenic. Carbon trans to halogen or methyl. Phenyl carbon. Cyanide carbon. 

There are several salts that behave in this way at atmospheric temperatures, the more important being ammonium acetate potassium bromate, carbonate, cyanide, ferricyanide, ferrocyanide, iodate, and permanganate disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium borate and carbonate.4 In the case of potassium chlorate the points L and S appear to be practically coincident, whilst for the majority of salts the point S lies somewhere to the left of L, namely at S —that is to say, saturation occurs before the limiting concentration is reached. Generally speaking, at the ordinary temperature, concentrated solutions of salts are less corrosive than distilled water—that is, the point S lies below the level of A, exceptions being 5 ammonium sulphate, aluminium... 

A good deal of information is obtainable by acidifying the samples with dilute mineral acids and observing the reaction, first at room temperature and then after gentle application of heat. Bicarbonates, carbonates, cyanides, hypochlorites, nitrates, and nitrites yield characteristic gases following such treatment. Care must be exercised when cyanide intoxication is suspected as hydrogen cyanide may be evolved. 

Chromium and Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Arsenic, and Antimony—Carbides and Carbonates—Cyanides, Chromioyanidcs, Chromithiooyanates—Compounds with Silicon and Boron. 

The branch of chemistry that deals with all other compounds is called inorganic chemistry, meaning not organic. Carbonates, cyanides, carbides, sulfides, and oxides of carbon are classified as inorganic compounds. Geologists call these compounds minerals. A mineral is an element or inorganic compound that is found in nature as solid crystals. Minerals usually are found mixed with other materials in ores. An ore is a material from which a mineral can be removed at a reasonable cost. In other words, the cost of extraction cannot approach or exceed the economic value of the mineral. 

We have found that mercury can be readily removed from carbonate-cyanide solutions by electrodeposition, thus making mercury recycle possible. 

Inorganic anions of weak acids Borate, bicarbonate, carbonate, cyanide, silicate. 

Anions of very weak acids such as arsenite, borate, carbonate, cyanide and silicate exist as anions only in basic solution. It is therefore necessary to use a basic eluent to separate these anions. A solution of sodium hydroxide can be used. Detection with sodium hydroxide is different than with the organic salt and acid eluents. Since the hydroxide ion is more mobile and has a higher equivalent conductance than most other anions, the peaks for the sample anions appear as negative peaks (decreased conductance). However, the peak height (or area) is still a function of the amount of sample anion and the sensitivity is even better than with the more acidic eluents where positive peaks are obtained.
