Where can one buy cyanide pills?

Cyanides (more exactly as cyanogenic glycozides) exist in cassava roots, and fruit seeds as apricots, prunes, peaches, almonds etc. Cyanide is historically found in the seeds of some fruits. Apples seeds contain cyanide, but a person would have to eat a lot of apple seeds for the cyanide to have any negative effects. Cyanide is natural found in certain foods. This includes cassava, almonds, pits of some types of fruit, and Lima beans.

Is potassium carbonate a element or compound?

Potassium carbonate is a compound. It consists of the elements potassium, carbon, and oxygen. The balanced chemical formula is: 2KOH + CO2 → K2CO3 + H2O which is a result of the addition of carbon dioxide to potassium hydroxide. The potassium hydroxide in this equation comes from the electrolysis of potassium chloride. Potassium carbonate is a compound. It consists of the elements potassium, carbon, and oxygen.

What is the name of the compound with the formula K3PO4?

On the surface, it's potassium oxide, or one of the oxides of postassium. But there's a catch. Potassium has only one oxidation state, and it's +1 (strongly basic). It will combine with oxygen only in the ratio of two to one. That's two potassium atoms and one oxygen atom, which gives us K2O for a compound. There isn't any KO3 around anywhere. A link can be found below. Wikipedia has more information.

Can silver potassium cyanide kill you?

Let's clear one thing up first: potassium cyanide is a solid (powder). At room temperature, in its pure form, it can't be drunk.Of course, one can take a tablespoon of potassium cyanide and dissolve it in a glass of water, THEN drink the resulting solution. The result would be a quick DEATH, because there is more than a fatal dose of cyanide in one tablespoon of the compound.The gas chamber, which was used as an execution method by some US states until quite recently, makes use of potassium cyanide. Pellets or powdered potassium cyanide are dropped into a dish filled with sulfuric acid, which is placed underneath the chair of the condemned prisoner. The potassium cyanide quickly reacts with the acid, and releases hydrogen cyanide, which is the gas that poisons and kills the prisoner.Potassium cyanide is a common and useful laboratory chemical, despite its toxicity. As with all laboratory chemicals, it should be used with care and respect.
