potassium cyanide
Potassium cyanide is a compound with the formula KCN. It is a colorless salt, similar in appearance to sugar, that is highly soluble in water. Most KCN is used in gold mining, organic synthesis, and electroplating. Smaller applications include chemical gilding and buffing of jewelry. Potassium cyanide is highly toxic, and a dose of 200 to 300 milligrams will kill nearly any human.
The moist solid emits small amounts of hydrogen cyanide due to hydrolysis (reaction with water). Hydrogen cyanide is often described as having an odor resembling that of bitter almonds.
The taste of potassium cyanide has been described as acrid and bitter, with a burning sensation similar to lye. However, potassium cyanide kills so rapidly its taste has not been reliably documented. In 2006, an Indian man killed himself using potassium cyanide. In the suicide note he left, the final words written were that potassium cyanide "burns the tongue and tastes acrid".
