Potassium argentocyanide
Short Answer

Solution
The formula of potassium argentocyanide is K[Ag(CN)2].
When dissolved in water, it dissociates as:
\[\ce{K[Ag(CN)2] -> K+ + [Ag(CN)2]-}\]
Thus, the [Ag(CN)2]− remains intact as a complex ion and does not dissociate further.
In solution, potassium argentocyanide furnishes is K+ and [Ag(CN)2]−.
