Specification:	1.Reactivity Profile Mercury cyanide oxide (1335-31-5) detonates on heating [Hawley]. Several instances have been reported where explosions occurred in handling this substance. Friction is a frequent cause of the explosion. Decomposes on contact with acid to give off hydrogen cyanide, a flammable poisonous gas. Desensitized by mixing 67% mercuric cyanide to create commercial product.
Report:	Mercury and its compounds, as well as cyanide and its compounds, are on the Community Right-To-Know List.
