Potassium sulpho Cynide chemical formula?

This is usually called potassium thiocyanate, KSCN it contains the SCN- ion which is the sulfur analog of the OCN- cyanate ion.


When alkyl halide react with kCN form cynide but alkyle halide react with AgCN form iso cynide why?

In the presence of potassium cyanide (KCN), alkyl halides typically undergo an SN2 reaction to form nitriles due to the strong nucleophilicity of cyanide ion. However, when reacting with silver cyanide (AgCN), the reaction mechanism favors an SN1 pathway due to the solubility of AgCN in polar solvents, resulting in the formation of isocyanides (also known as isonitriles) instead of nitriles.


For detection of foregin element why is sodium fusion carried out?

oraganic compound are covalent in nature and they do not react with inorganic reagents so that they should be converted into ionic compounds .since sodium is highly reactive and electropositive metal ,it form ionic compound .NA+C+N...................NaCN(SODIUM CYNIDE)2Na+s......................Na2sNa+x.........................Nax


What metal is obtained by leaching of ore with dilute cynide solution?

Gold is obtained by leaching ore with a dilute cyanide solution in a process known as cyanidation. In this method, the cyanide solution selectively dissolves gold from the ore while leaving other materials behind. The gold is then recovered from the solution through processes such as precipitation or adsorption onto activated carbon. This technique is widely used in the mining industry due to its effectiveness in extracting gold from low-grade ores.

Can you survive form cyanide poisoning?

cynide is actually a non reversible inhibitor that completely blocks the active site of enzyme destryng its globular structure howevr recently in U.S they have came up wth cynide antidote kit that consists of certain compounds converting the toxic cynide to less toxin thiocynate. hence the person could servive.. moreover the action of cynide depends of whether it is inhaled in gas form of taken in in the form of salts and also its amount of consumption...
