it depends on the ratio of concentration of water to cyanide. it needs to be concentrated to be lethal.
for example apple seeds contain cyanide but even if you chew all the seeds in an apple you won't get anything because the concentration of cyanide is low.
Cyanide salts are easily dissolved in water, such as moisture found on the hands. It can then be absorbed into the body through the skin causing cyanide poisoning. It is better that you do not touch any cyanide salts, such as sodium or potassium cyanide.
Yes, hydrogen cyanide.
When potassium cyanide (KCN) is added to water, it dissociates into potassium ions (K+) and cyanide ions (CN-). These ions can then react with water molecules to form stable complexes, such as potassium cyanide ion or hydrocyanic acid, depending on the concentration and pH of the solution. This reaction releases cyanide ions, which can be highly toxic.
The pH of cyanide is about 6.4 in water. Cyanide is a weak acid and dissociates partially in water to form hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN-).
You are referring to the cyanide that was substituted in Tylenol capsules. The Tylenol did not kill anyone, the cyanide it had been substituted with did.
Yes there is cyanide in apple seeds but it would take many to kill you.
Yes it is extremely toxic.
A mere 300 mcg of cyanide could kill a man.
Cyanide poisoning and a bullet.
cyanide poison..................
when gold is being cleaned and extracted cyanide solution is used. cyanide is a poison to people, animals, and fish. cyanide can leach through to underground water and poison the water. when gold is being cleaned and extracted cyanide solution is used. cyanide is a poison to people, animals, and fish. cyanide can leach through to underground water and poison the water.
About 150mg of cyanide can kill a 60kg human so about 15g should kill a 6000 kg adult male elephant. The cyanide would kill the elephant in much the same way it kills humans because we are both mammals.
