What drug is used in euthanasia?
Typically, three drugs are used in succession to perform euthanasia: Sodium thiopental is used to induce unconsciousness; Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon) to cause muscle paralysis and respiratory arrest; and Potassium chloride to stop the heart.
What chemicals do they use for the death penalty?
In 1970's the people used Intravenous saline water with barbiturates & paralytic . But now in most states three separate injections (in sequential order) are used : # Sodium thiopental: ultra-short action barbiturate, an anaesthetic agent capable of rendering the offender unconscious in a few seconds. # Pancuronium: non-depolarizing muscle relaxant, causes complete, fast and sustained paralysis of the skeletal striated muscles, including the diaphragm and the rest of the respiratory muscles; this would eventually cause death by asphyxiation. # Potassium chloride: stops the heart, and thus causes death by cardiac arrest. The drugs are not mixed externally as that can cause them to precipitate
Why is Pancuronium Bromide used in the lethal injection?
Pancuronium Bromide stop the movement of muscles by competing with acetylcholine. This means once the muscle stop contracting a person can't breath and therefore pancuronium can be used in the lethal injection.
What is the balanced equation for potassium bromide and ammonium chloride?
The balanced equation for potassium bromide (KBr) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is: KBr + NH4Cl → KCl + NH4Br
Will chlorine and potassium bromide react?
Yes, chlorine will react with potassium bromide to form potassium chloride and bromine. This is a displacement reaction where the more reactive chlorine displaces bromine from potassium bromide.
What is the equation for the reaction with chlorine and potassium bromide?
chlorine plus potassium bromide gives bromine plus potassium chloride. Here is the symbol equation, but remember that the numbers AFTER the symbols should be subscripts. Cl2 + 2KBr = Br2 + 2KCl
What comprises sea water?
It consists of magnesium bromide, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and of course water.
What is the name of the reaction of potassium bromide with chlorine?
The reaction of potassium bromide with chlorine is known as a displacement reaction, where the more reactive chlorine displaces the less reactive bromide to form potassium chloride and elemental bromine.
Which product of the reaction Chlorine plus Potassium bromide is a salt?
The product of the reaction between chlorine and potassium bromide is potassium chloride. This is a salt because it is formed when a metal (potassium) reacts with a non-metal (chlorine) to form an ionic compound.
Where are sodium chloride potassium chloride and magnesium chloride found?
lethal injection uses potassium chloride to stop the heart from working and is the 3rd drug injected since there are only 3 drugs involved during lethal injection. FYI:lethal injection uses. sodium thiopental =induces unconciousness =also used for anasteasia in surgeries ect pencuronium bromide =mustle relaxant =paralizes the victim potassium chloride =induses cardiac arrest =stops heart from working ST=ANESTHETIC AGENT PB=PARALYZING AGENT PC=TOXIC AGENT this should answer your question on potassium chloride the other acids and bases im not realy fimmilular with hope this helped.
What is the name for the compound KBr?
"Potassium bromide"
What type of the reaction is cl2 2kbr2kcl br2?
This is a single displacement reaction, also known as a single replacement reaction. In this reaction, chlorine (Cl2) displaces bromine (Br2) from potassium bromide (KBr) to form potassium chloride (KCl) and elemental bromine (Br2).
