Alkalies, unlike acids, produce ________.
Corrosive poisons
These are those substances, which corrode and destroy tissues through direct chemical action.
correction of acidosis
Treatment is by ________ by infusion of sodium bicarbonate intravenously and to treat renal failure by hemodialysis.
Inorganic acids (mineral acids)
Sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids.
Inorganic acids (mineral acids)
Sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids
Organic acids
Carbolic, oxalic and salicylic acids
Sulfuric acid
With barium chloride or nitrate, it produces white precipitate of barium sulfate
Organic acids
Carbolic, oxalic and salicylic acids. These acids are weaker in action compared to inorganic acids and are usually absorbed into circulation, promoting local and remote action.
Hydrochloric acid
When mixed with silver nitrate, it produces a curdy white precipitate of silver chloride
Xanthoproteic reaction
It is a local reaction producing yellowish discoloration of the tissues upon contact with concentrated nitric acid
Carbolic Acid
It is a poison that can be identified by smell, which is commonly referred to as phenolic odor or hospital odor
Cresol
a methyl phenol with meta, ortho and para isomers
Creosote
a mixture of phenols and consists mainly of cresol and guiacol
Resorcinol
a colourless crystalline substance and is used for the treatment of various skin diseases including ringworm, psoriasis, eczema, etc
Dettol
chlorinated phenol, parachlorometaxylenol and is practically non-toxic to adults
Thymol
an alkyl derivative of phenol obtained from volatile oils of Thymus vulgaris, Monarda punctata or Trachyspermum ammi
Ammonium Carbonate
It is a translucent, hard crystalline mass with a strong ammoniacal taste and pungent odor
Potassium and Sodium Carbonate
They are white crystalline powder and are very soluble in water, but not in alcohol
Vitriolage
Death or disfiguration due to throwing of concentrated sulfuric acid on the face of a person with an intention to produce damage.
Xanthoproteic reaction
It is a local reaction producing yellowish discoloration of the tissues upon contact with concentrated nitric acid.
Hydrofluoric acid
It is a colorless gas, which becomes a fuming liquid when dissolved in water and is used for etching glass and clouding electric bulbs.
Carbolic Acid
It is a poison that can be identified by smell, which is commonly referred to as phenolic odor or hospital odor.
Phenol
It is a protoplasmic poison. It enters into a loose combination with proteins and penetrates deep into the tissue.
carboluria
Phenol is metabolized mainly by the kidneys, wherein it gets converted into hydroquinone and pyrocatechol and excreted in urine (both). These products turn urine olive green or brown on standing, and the phenomenon is called ____.
nephrotoxic
Phenol is considered as a ____drug.
Cresol
A methyl phenol with meta, ortho and para isomers. It is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic.
Creosote
A mixture of phenols and consists mainly of cresol and guiacol. It is used as a household remedy for coughs and is found in many proprietary preparations.
Resorcinol
A colourless crystalline substance and is used for the treatment of various skin diseases including ringworm, psoriasis, eczema, etc.
Lysol
50% solution of cresol (3-methyl phenol) in saponified vegetable oil.
Dettol
Chlorinated phenol, parachlorometaxylenol and is practically non-toxic to adults.
Thymol
An alkyl derivative of phenol obtained from volatile oils of Thymus vulgaris, Monarda punctata or Trachyspermum ammi.
Formic Acid
It is a colorless liquid with a pungent penetrating odor, completely soluble in water.
It is unique for its ability in many patients to cause death after a prolonged (several weeks) course of classical acid-induced gastrointestinal damage.
Alkali agents
_____ create injury to the gastrointestinal tract by the mechanism of liquefaction necrosis, whereby saponification of fats and solubilization of proteins allow deep penetration into tissue.
Spirits of Hartshorn
Gaseous ammonia when dissolved in water forms a strong solution of ammonia known as _______, which contains 32.5% of ammonia and is a colorless pungent liquid used in agriculture, mining, plastic, and explosive industries.
Ammonium Carbonate
It is a translucent, hard crystalline mass with a strong ammoniacal taste and pungent odor.
Potassium and Sodium Carbonate
They are white crystalline powder and are very soluble in water, but not in alcohol. They are used for cleaning and washing purpose.
Potassium Hydroxide and Sodium Hydroxide
These are used as drain and oven cleaners.
