What is the formula for the compound that forms from potassium and cyanide?

To answer this you need a roman numeral on gold to know the charge on it. Assuming it would be (I)... the formula would be KAu(CN)2


How many potassium ions are needed to balance the charge of one sulfide ion and why?

You would need two potassium ions to balance the charge of one sulfide ion. Potassium has a charge of +1, while sulfide has a charge of -2, so two potassium ions with a total charge of +2 would balance the charge of one sulfide ion with a charge of -2.


How do you prepare potassium cynide at home?

You can't, you have to buy it from a chemical supply house. If they won't supply it to you, you have no business having it.


Why do cells need the sodium - potassium pump?

Cells need the sodium-potassium pump to maintain a proper balance of sodium and potassium ions inside and outside the cell. This pump helps establish a negative charge inside the cell, which is important for many cellular processes, including nerve transmission and muscle contractions.


Why does your bodey need potassium?

Potassium cations are important in neuron (brain and nerve) function, and in influencing osmotic balance between cells and the interstital fluid.


Why do you need methemoglobin and what does it do?

If you want to calculate the concentration of haemoglobin, you need to convert haemoglobin into cyanmethaemoglobin, because cyanmethaemoglobin can be measured colourimetrically.You need- whole blood- EDTA , and- Drabkin's reagent.As Haemoglobin reacts with potassium ferricyanide (in the Drabkin's reagent), haemoglobin will convert into methaemoglobin.Methaemoglobin will react with potassium cyanide (also in the Drabkin's reagent), and you will get cyanmethaemoglobin.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hb + potassium ferricyanide → methaemoglobinMethaemoglobin + potassium cyanide →cyanmethaemoglobin----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cyanmethaemoglobin can be measured by using a spectrometer (absorbance at 540 nm.).Using the equation, it will give you the concentration of Haemoglobin.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hb (g/dL) = Abs. of test sample / abs. of standard x concentration of standard.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(The concentration is directly proportional to the absorbance)

If potassium has a valence of 1 and oxygen has a valence of 2 the formula for potassium oxide is?

The formula for potassium oxide would be K2O. This is because potassium has a valence of 1 and oxygen has a valence of 2. To balance the charges, you need two potassium ions (each with a charge of +1) for every oxygen ion (with a charge of -2).


What is the ratio of ions needed to produce neutral potassium chloride?

To produce neutral potassium chloride, you need an equal number of potassium ions (K+) and chloride ions (Cl-) since they have opposite charges that balance each other out. Therefore, the ratio of ions needed is 1:1 for potassium ions to chloride ions in potassium chloride.


Would lacking in potassium cause sickness?

Yes, a deficiency in potassium can lead to symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and irregular heartbeat. Severe potassium deficiency can even be life-threatening. It is important to maintain a balance of electrolytes in the body, including potassium, for overall health and proper functioning of cells and organs.
