What are the mechanisms of the body for getting rid of cyanide?
Natural mechanism for getting rid of cyanide involves rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals. It combines cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate. Other antidotes include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system.
Which cellular organelle would be affected by cyanide poisoning?
Large doses of cyanide prevent oxygen from entering cells so cellular respiration could no longer take place and the cells die.
How does cyanide inhibit mitochondrial function?
ATP decreases
Why is it not possible to survive cyanide poisoning by using anaerobic respiration alone?
It is impossible to survive Cyanide Poisoning on Anaerobic Respiration alone, because Anaerobic Respiration supplies inadequate amounts of ATP to support the metabolism of an organism.
Cyanide is a poison that prevents mitochondria from using oxygen as a result the mitochondria cannot produce what?
minerals
What does the cyanide molecule do?
Rupture cell wall
Can potassium cyanide kill when placed on wounds?
...from ashigakari.com ...no, because potassium cyanide can only kill when it is mixed with acid, producing hydrogen cyanide. in case of poisoning, the reaction occurs on digestion.
Would artificial respiration save a person who has cyanide poisoning?
No it would not. Cyanide poisoning affects the ability of cells to use oxygen for aerobic respiration. Cyanide acts by inhibiting a molecule involved in this process. Giving a person poisoned with cyanide extra oxygen or artificial respiration will not help because no matter how much oxygen they have in their blood, their tissues will not be able to use it. The person will still go into a coma and undergo cardiac arrest.
What the name of KCN?
Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.
What is the name of the ion CN?
cyanide ionCannium (Cn)the polyatomic anion cyanide. compounds can be named such as Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) and Sodium cyanide (NaCN)
Are cyanide and nitriles same?
Cyanide and nitriles can be grouped together. A nitrile is an organic compound that contains a cyanide (CN) group. However, other substances often called cyanide are not nitriles, including hydrogen cyanide, sodium cyanide, and potassium cyanide.
How much does cyanide cost?
The cost of cyanide can vary depending on the type of cyanide it is. One such is the cyanide tube which can cost about $116.
What is the formula for silver cyanide?
The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.
Who found the taste of cyanide?
john cyanide
Is cyanide man made?
Cyanide is natural
What is the ionic compound KCN?
Ammonium cyanide
What else works as fast as potassium cyanide?
sodium cyanide, hydrogen cyanide gas, etc.
