Electrolysis of Molten Sodium Cyanate


Electrolysis of Molten Sodium Cyanate

nitrogen and sodium at the cathode
carbon dioxide at the anode
it this correct?

also sodium cyanate and hcl react to form what?
HCNO?and NaCL

I dont think sodium cyanate is conductive when melted.

I think this should happen at 400-700 degree C:
4NaOCN 400-700degree celcius-) 2Na2O + N2 + 2CO




I never asked for this.

caesium metal can be isolated by electrolysis of fused caesium cyanide (CsCN)

cyanogen and ceasium is formed i think.
source wikipedia.com /caesium

so i was thinking maybe sodium cyanate might work to
600F it melt at around

At those temperatures even if Sodium and Nitrogen where formed what would stop it from forming Sodium Nitride?

I think this is merely a dangerous flight of fancy.

"I see a lot of patterns in our behavior as a nation that parallel a lot of other historical processes. The fall of Rome, the fall of Germany — the fall of the ruling country, the people who think they can do whatever they want without anybody else's consent. I've seen this story before."~Maynard James Keenan

sodium and nitrogen does not form very easy unlike lithium
but sodium does react with oxygen very easily

Mayby it could work.... Someone could test , sodium cyanate is easy to make.
