Product Description

Product Description

Basic Information

• Product Name: Sodium Cyanate
• Chemical Formula: NaOCN
• Molecular Weight: 65.01 g/mol
• CAS Number: 917-61-3
• Appearance: White crystalline powder or colorless crystals
• Odor: Odorless
• Solubility: Soluble in water (5.0 g/100 mL at 20°C), slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in ether.

Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties

• Melting Point: 550°C (decomposes)
• Density: 2.32 g/cm³ (20°C)
• Stability: Stable under dry conditions but hydrolyzes in water or moist air, releasing cyanide ions (CN) slowly.

Chemical Properties

• Hydrolysis Reaction:
  In aqueous solution, sodium cyanate reacts with water to form sodium bicarbonate and ammonia:
  NaOCN + 2H2O → NaHCO3 + NH3
• Thermal Decomposition:
  Decomposes at high temperatures, producing sodium carbonate, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide.
• Reactivity with Acids:
  Reacts with strong acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid) to form cyanic acid (HCNO), which is unstable and may decompose into carbon dioxide and ammonia.

Applications

1. Organic Synthesis
   • Intermediate in Chemical Production:
     • Used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (e.g., barbiturates), herbicides, and pesticides.
     • Key reagent for preparing isocyanates, ureas, and carbamates.
2. Metallurgy and Electroplating
   • As a source of cyanide ions in electroplating baths (e.g., gold and silver plating), though its use is limited due to safety concerns.
3. Textile and Leather Industry
   • Functions as a bleaching agent or finishing agent for fabrics.
4. Laboratory Reagent
   • Used in organic reactions (e.g., cyclization, condensation) and as a reagent for protein modification.

Safety and Handling

• Toxicity:
  • Although less toxic than sodium cyanide, sodium cyanate hydrolyzes to release cyanide ions, which are highly toxic. Inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact may cause poisoning (symptoms include headache, nausea, and respiratory distress).
  • Acute oral LD50 in rats: ~500 mg/kg (moderate toxicity).
• Health Hazards:
  • Dust irritates the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract; prolonged exposure may lead to systemic effects.
• Handling Precautions:
  • Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a respirator in well-ventilated areas.
  • Avoid contact with water, moisture, or acids (which accelerate cyanide release).
  • Store in a sealed, dry container at room temperature, away from heat and incompatible substances (e.g., acids, oxidizers).
• Environmental Risks:
  • Releases toxic cyanide into water, posing high risk to aquatic life; proper disposal in accordance with hazardous waste regulations is essential.
