Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement claims that alkyl cyanides are as poisonous as potassium cyanide (KCN). We need to analyze the toxicity of both compounds. 2. **Identifying Potassium Cyanide (KCN)**: KCN is known for its high toxicity. When it comes into contact with moisture (like water in the air), it can release hydrogen cyanide (HCN), which is a highly toxic gas. 3. **Understanding Alkyl Cyanides**: Alkyl cyanides, also known as alkyl nitriles, are organic compounds that contain a cyanide group (-C≡N) attached to an alkyl group. Examples include ethyl cyanide (ethyl nitrile) and propyl cyanide. ...
