Sodium Ferrocyanide - 60 year old antique chemset
« on: October 28, 2010, 04:01:18 PM »
So, a friend just picked up an antique chemistry set from the 50s, containing all sorts of interesting stuff - among it sodium ferrocyanide.  Out of curiosity, can this photodecompose or react with an acid such as HCl or H2SO4 to produce hydrogen cyanide?  Any risk of cracking it open without ventilation?
