10x10x10 room for ease of calculation is 1,000 cubic feet

1,000 cubic feet of air is approximately 36.68 kilos in weight.

300mg/kilo breathed air lethal dose means you’d need just over 11,000mg, or 11g of zyklon b.

Your math is wrong. A lethal dose isn’t measured against the mass of the air in the room. It’s the mass of the person. I redid the math the way a chemist would do it, since I am one.

Molar mass HCN: 27.011 g/mol

270 ppm instantly fatal dose

Room size: 10 ft^3 -> 3.048 m^3 -> 28,350 L

Berlin weather today:

21.11 C -> 294.26 K

30.41 inHg -> 1.016 atm

Ideal gas constant 0.0821 (Latm)/(molK)

(PV)/(RT) = n

(1.01628,350)/(0.0821294.26) = n mols = 1,192.25 mols

N = 1,192.25 mols * 6.022 molecules/mol = 7.1797 E 26 molecules

ppm = 7.1797 E 26 molecules * 27 E-6 molecules = 1.9385 E 22 molecules HCN

1.9385 E 22 molecules HCN / 6.023 E 23 molecules per mol = 3.2 E -2 mols

3.2 E -2 mols * 27.011 g/mol = 0.8695 g = 869 mg

TL: DR 869 mg of HCN in a room 10 ft cubed room would instantly kill everyone inside it.

What if the temperature was at 100F and the pressure was at 1.05 atm ?

Oh boy, just drown them. Math is hard. LOL

Water is cheap.

ChaoticNeutral ago

True drowning would be super easy but you generate the gas on the fly. Look at how old gas chambers used to work. They’d drop a solid into a container of water to generate the lethal gas. Also, who gets to retrieve the dead, shit and piss covered, bodies from the pool for the next batch?

Mass killing is messy as hell.

Do on a beach, let the currents take them away ! Bye bye

Throw them into a volcano

Send them to mexico

Another good option.
