Symbol KCN? Because of the presence of the CN-, and the high reactivity of K+, it is in my option that it would be HIGHLY poisonous. I would not in any way suggest ingestion...but hey, if you can find someone who has survived it...ask them

Is potassium cyanide of pH11 poisonous?

Cyanide in any form is poisonous.


Can you make potassium cyanide un poisonous?

No. As long as it remains potassium cyanide, there is fatal potential.


What is more poisonous potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide?

Potassium cyanide is more poisonous than sodium cyanide. Both chemicals are highly toxic, but potassium cyanide is typically considered to be more lethal because the body absorbs it more readily, leading to faster and more severe symptoms of poisoning.


Would potassium chloride and cyanide interfere if taken at the same time?

No. Potassium chloride will not protect you from the poisonous effects of potassium cyanide, in any way.


What does it produce if you add Potassium cyanide and water?

When potassium cyanide is added to water, it dissolves and forms a highly toxic solution of potassium cyanide. This solution releases hydrogen cyanide gas, which is extremely poisonous. Mixing potassium cyanide with water can be hazardous and should be done with caution.


What the name of KCN?

Potassium Cyanide, because K is the symbol for Potassium and CN represents cyanide.


Why is potassium Ferricyanide less poisonous than potassium cyanide?

Potassium ferricyanide is less poisonous than potassium cyanide because it does not release cyanide ions in the body. Cyanide ions inhibit enzymes involved in cellular respiration, leading to cellular suffocation and toxicity. Potassium ferricyanide, on the other hand, is mostly harmless upon ingestion and is commonly used in non-toxic applications like photography and blueprinting.


Is cyanide a mineral?

Cyanide is not a substance in itself but refers to a radical -CN which attaches readily to elements such as potassium and sodium to form such compounds as potassium cyanide KCN, and sodium cyanide NaCN, both of which are extremely poisonous. In any case, these compounds are known as salts and could be considered minerals whether or not they are naturally occurring.


What would cause addition of KCN to water?

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.


What is the cation and anion of Potassium cyanide?

The cation of potassium cyanide is potassium (K+) and the anion is cyanide (CN-).
