Zinc Cyanide

Where can I find information on the heat released when zinc cyanide is dissolved in chrome bath plating solution?

Abstract questions drive me crazy, Mr./Ms. Zeliger. Please tell us who you are, what you are trying to achieve, and why you would even consider mixing zinc cyanide with a chrome plating bath! Anyone who has had even one day of training in plating should know that you never allow cyanide to be acidified unless you are an executioner operating a gas chamber. If you are a waste treatment operator mixing these together, count yourself lucky to be alive.
