Hello everybody! I´d like to know if potassium argentocyanide 54% is poisonous, because I don´t know what this 54% refers to in the formula. I´ve searched on the internet, but haven´t found anything regarding this. Thnak you, guys!
 
54% Ag.

Usually some free KCN in there too for good measure when topping up baths. It is very poisonous.
 
KAg(CN)2 Absolutely poisonous. 54% silver. Like Lou said, there's usually some free KCN in there. Standard chemical for making and replenishing cyanide silver plating solutions. Company I worked for sold the same stuff in 100 oz containers.

Yes, it's poisonous. Do NOT allow it to come into contact with any acid as it will release deadly hydrogen cyanide gas!
