The flow of blood to the arteries of the body is impaired when aortic stenosis exists. Ultimately, this can lead to heart failure. Aortic stenosis occurs three times more commonly in men than women. Picture of heart and valves -- aortic valve stenosis.
Ammonium thiocyanate is colorless lustrous monoclinic flaky or columnar crystal with the chemical formula being NH4SCN and the molecular weight of 76.12. At 92 â, it is rhombohedral crystal with the melting point of 147 â (decompose at 170 â), the relative density of 1.3057 and the refractive index of 1.685.
Thiocyanate is analogous to the cyanate ion, [OCN]â, wherein oxygen is replaced by sulfur. [SCN]â is one of the pseudohalides, due to the similarity of its reactions to that of halide ions. Thiocyanate used to be known as rhodanide (from a Greek word for rose) because of the red colour of its complexes with iron.
