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