INTRODUCTION:
Potassium salts of cyanogens are salts which produced when potassium salts reacted with hydrocyanic acid . hydrocyanic acid is the parent acid of all of potassium salts of cyanogens . it is a weak mono protic acid with a bitter almond odor , it is highly poisonous . any diluted mineral acid can displace HCN from its salt , it is give white p.p.t with silver nitrate and p.p.t is soluble in excess cyanide forming complex [Ag(CN)2]- . potassium salts of cyanogens like potassium cyanide and potassium ferrocyanide .

1-potassium cyanide
Potassium cyanide is a compound with structure KCN , it is color less crystals salts , its appearance is similar to sugar , it is soluble in water and highly toxic . we obtain KCN by treating HCN by aqueous solution of KOH , or by formamide with KOH .
Dry test :
We make dry test by adding HCl to salt solution then we gain a bitter almond odor of HCN gas , or by adding concentrated sulphuric acid we gain carbon monoxide gas which burns with a blue flame .
Wet test :
Prussian blue test :
When we add salt solution of KCN to fresh ferrous sulphate and boil we gain solution of ferrocyanide then we add Fe 3 then we will gain Prussian blue p.p.t .

Methods Unknown microbial #398 went through several of tests in order to identify its characteristics when isolated from a urine sample of Doris, a 64- year old patient with a kidney infection. To identify unknown #398, must prepare a working and a reserve stock by the inoculation from a broth culture and by quadrant streaking method on a PEM and EMP plates. The following test procedures were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours for observation and identification for unknown #398. The identification of unknown #398 followed test procedures from Brown1.
Metal cations can be identified based on the colors they emitted off when heated in a flame.1 When atoms of the ions that were tested are excited, their electrons move up to higher levels of energy.2 When the electrons relax and return to the original states, they emit photons of specific energy creating wavelengths of light that produces colors.3 The test wire and Bunsen Burner were used to excite the solution in the crucible. The standard metal cations that were tested and their outcomes are as shown in Table 1.
In cycle one, the double displacement reaction, Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(l) occurred, the result of the reaction was that the reaction mixture began to bubble with the copper filling dissolving and a vapor like substance leaving the reaction. Furthermore, when water was added, the color change, from brown to a blue color pigment. Then in Cycle two, another double displacement reaction occurred, Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq), which resulted in the reaction becoming cloudy and a darker shade of blue. Following cycle two, a decomposition reaction occurred as the result of heat being administered to the mixture, thus the following reaction occurred in cycle three, Cu(OH)2(s) → CuO(s) + H2O(l). As a
To do the temperature and dissolved oxygen tests, stick the probe in the water, and it will show numbers. One will be the dissolved oxygen in ppm (parts per million) and the other will be the temperature of the water. To do the pH test, stick the pH paper in the water and compare the color it turns to the scale. To test nitrates, put clear water in a container and dirty water in another, and put powder in them. Shake them and then compare the color they turn to the scale.
If cyanide was produced in a plant, then the plant cells would die because cyanide is such a powerful poison. Cyanide inhibits enzymes in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and because of that it blocks electron transport. If there is no electron transport chain, then most organisms cannot produce ATP. Without the ability to produce ATP, it quickly leads to death. b) One way these products can come together to make active CN in nature is during winter/spring when the clover freezes.
From the safety data sheet, the main health hazard of potassium carbonate is to cause serious eye and skin irritation (Armand 2015). To control the hazard of the potassium carbonate, protective gloves and eye glasses are required, also dust masks should be worn to prevent breathing or swallowing dusts when handling the powder form. 6.2.2 Electrical hazard Electrical equipment such as generator and turbines pose the risk of electrical fire, the most common cause of this being leakage of lubricant oil. (F.E. global) The leaking lube oil is ignited by the hot surface of the steam or gas turbine and causes fire.
Then test tubes A and C contained bromine. Test tube A was placed under the light and test tube C was placed in the dark. After the reactions occurred, test tube A was the only test tube that contained a white solid and was vacuum filtered. It was then washed with DCM and the leftover substance was the product. Capillary tubes were then obtained and filled with the solid product.
In this reaction NaOH was added to the Cu(NO3)2. The solution developed a precipitate which made the clear solution become cloudy and uniform in color (blue). The physical color change was demonstrated through the formation of the precipitate. The third step was the formation of CuO. In this reaction, the Cu(OH)2 product was heated on a hot plate and stirred continuously until the solution became colorless and a dark precipitate formed.
This led to the mnemonic, "Lead burns red and makes you dead." or "Red means dead." Although the flame test will show the presence of lead and fusel oils, it will not reveal the presence of methanol, which burns with an invisible flame. A more reliable method of testing is to use scientific testing equipment, such as an alcoholmeter or hydrometer. A hydrometer is used during and after the fermentation process to determine the potential alcohol percent of the moonshine, whereas an alcoholmeter is used after the product has been distilled to determine the volume percent or proof.
Next, a 10 mL beaker is filled with 3 mL of HCl and measure 10 mL of ionized water into a 140 mL beaker. Carefully turn on laboratory burner and start cleaning the Nichrome wire by dipping it into concentrated HCl acid. Hold the Nichrome wire on top of the flame and repeat the step until the wire doesn 't show any color. When the wire is clean, dip the wire again with some of the acid and dip it into the solution with the unknown compound in it. Place the wire back into the flame again and observe the color of the flame.
Nevertheless, the latter is not used in this experiment since it is very reactive and extremely flammable. On the contrary, NaBH4 is relatively mild and it can be used with protic solvents. In this manner, 1.507 grs of the ketone 9-fluorenone were mixed with 30.0 ml of 95% ethanol in a 125 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The bright yellow mixture was stirred during 7 minutes until all the components were dissolved.
Next, a 100 mL graduated cylinder was used to measure 60 mL of distilled water. The water was added to the compound and stirred with a glass-stirring rod until dissolved. Next, The flame test required the solution made during the solubility test. The experiment needed a metal wire that was dipped into the solution
Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and
II. METHODOLOGY In order to perform this experiment, the students will need a distillation set-up with a connector receiver, an iron ring and stand, a Bunsen burner, a wire gauze, a 250mL round bottom flask, a graduated cylinder, a thermometer, one or two boiling chips, an alcoholic beverage, masking tape, an ice bath, a stirring rod, and, optionally, food coloring. It is imporatnt to avoid playing with the apparatus and equipment so as to avoid breakage and injuries, especially since fire is being dealt with in this experiment.
75 g KNO3/100 mL H2O at 40° C- supersaturated; At 40°C, the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in 100 mL of water is approximately 60 g of potassium nitrate. Dissolving 75 g will be more than what the solvent can dissolve, making it a supersaturated
