Which gas on exposure to high concentrations can cause unconsciousness, known as "knockdown," which can be lethal?

  1. Hydrogen sulphide

  2. Galena

  3. carbon-monoxide

  4. none of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

$H _2S$ being toxic causes a wide range of health hazards such as nausea, tearing of eyes, headache or loss of sleep or bronchial problems in some asthma patients; acute exposure causes rapid unconsciousness,' knockdown ' or immediate collapse, death within minutes.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.

Which one of these are known as prussic acid?

  1. $HCN$
  2. $HF$
  3. $NH _3$
  4. $PH _3$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Hydrogen cyanide $(HCN)$, sometimes called prussic acid, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula $HCN$. 

It is colourless, extremely poisonous and flammable liquid that boils slightly above room temperature. $HCN$ is produced on an industrial scale and is a highly valuable precursor to many chemical compounds ranging from polymers to pharmaceuticals.
