Which cyanide exposure symptom is not a symptom of a nerve agent exposure?
Pink gums, conjunctiva and nail beds
Treatment of cyanide exposure?
The first aid for cyanide exposure USED to be amyl nitrite. This is the stuff the Army issues as a blood agent antidote - cyanide is a blood agent. Unfortunately for the civilian population, this stuff is a controlled substance because you can get really high on it. They have found that Vitamin B12a, of all things, is REALLY good at cleaning cyanide out of your system. It is therefore the preferred treatment for cyanide poisoning.
What is the correct formula for copper(I) cyanide?
Copper is Cu. The (I) means there is only 1 Cu atom. Cyanide is CN- Therefore the formula for Copper (I) Cyanide or Copper I Cyanide is: CuCN
What is the correct chemical formula of tin cyanide?
Tin (II) cyanide has the formula Sn(CN)2.
What is the correct molar mass for hydrogen cyanide?
Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, has a molar mass of 27.03g/mol.
Three components in correct order of administration utilized in the treatment for cyanide exposure.?
Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate
The three components in correct order of administration utilized in the treatment for cyanide exposure.?
Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate
Select the three components in correct order of administration utilized in the treatment for cyanide exposure.?
Amyl nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium thiosulfate
What is cyanide exposure symptom?
Symptoms of cyanide exposure can include difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, headache, nausea and vomiting, confusion, dizziness, and loss of consciousness. Severe exposure can lead to seizures, cardiac arrest, and death. Immediate medical attention is necessary if cyanide poisoning is suspected.

What is the chemical name for hydrogen cyanide?
The correct name (after IUPAC rules) is just hydrogen cyanide.
What is the correct molar mass for hydrogen cyanide?
Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, has a molar mass of 27.03g/mol.
What is the correct chemical formula of tin cyanide?
Tin (II) cyanide has the formula Sn(CN)2.
What is the correct formula for copper(I) cyanide?
Copper is Cu. The (I) means there is only 1 Cu atom. Cyanide is CN- Therefore the formula for Copper (I) Cyanide or Copper I Cyanide is: CuCN
What are symptoms of exposure to cyanide?
Acute cyanide exposure (sudden exposure to large concentrations can produce coma with seizures, apnea, and cardiac arrest, with death following in a matter of seconds. Less substantial but still acute exposures can produce loss of consciousness may be preceded by general weakness, giddiness, headaches, vertigo, confusion, and perceived difficulty in breathing. A cherry red skin color becoming darker with time can also be present. Long term, low level exposures to cyanide can result in increased blood cyanide levels, which can result in weakness and a variety of symptoms, including permanent paralysis, nervous lesions, hypothyroidism, and miscarriages. Other effects include mild liver and kidney damage. Cyanide able to produce low levels of exposure are present in some pesticides and in some foods. The most notable, besides almonds and apricot seeds, is the cassava, also called yucca or manioc, which must be properly prepared before consumption to avoid poisoning. This is a common issue in Africa, where cassava is a primary food source in tropical regions.
