Electroplating of Silver

It is convenient to deal with the electroplating of all the above metals together, because the same type of solution is used in each case, viz, the double cyanide solution. Cyanide are the salts of the very weak hydrocyanic acid (prusic acid). The cyanides of sodium and potassium are soluble in water, but the cyanide of the heavy metals are insoluble; nevertheless these insoluble cyanide readily dissolve in a solution of sodium of potassium cyanide to form a double salt.

NaCN + AgCN → NaAg(CN)2 ↔ Na+ + Ag(CN)2-
