ARE CYANIDE PILLS REAL SECRETS

Complementary to its reactivity towards acids, KOH attacks oxides. So, SiO2 is attacked by KOH to provide soluble potassium silicates. KOH reacts with carbon dioxide to present potassium bicarbonate:Amyl Nitrite: Amyl Nitrite is typically inhaled and works by oxidizing hemoglobin into methemoglobin, which has a greater binding affinity for cyanide,
