Write up for Potassium Cyanide
Highly poisonous, Potassium Cyanide is commonly used as a killing agent in collecting jars. It smells of bitter almonds, but the ability to do so is passed down as a genetic trait.
It is created by Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) with Potassium Hydroxide (KCN).
HCN+KON=KCN+H2O
Potassium Cyanide causes blood in the body to lose the ability to use the oxygen in them. Therefore, if someone consumes Potassium Cyanide, convulsions would occur. If the person is not treated within 45 minutes, he would most probably die from cardiac arrest.
