[268] Mercury cyanide may be detected in a liquid after acidifying with tartaric acid, and adding a few c.c. of SH2 water and then distilling. S. Lopes suggests another process: the liquid is acidified with tartaric acid, ammonium chloride added in excess, and the liquid is distilled. A double chloride of ammonium and mercury is formed, and HCN distils over with the steam.—J. Pharm., xxvii. 550-553.
