Best Answer

It activates at about room temperature.

It gives off gas at 78 degrees F (about 25.6 degrees C). That is one of the reasons why the SS packed victims tightly into the gas chambers. They wanted to get the temperature up to that level quickly from the heat of the human bodies inside.

What is the name of the poisonous gas used to kill Jews at Auschwitz?

I may be incorrect, but I believe it was called Zyklon B, a very lethal nerve gas. Of course, I may be wrong. Zyklon B was the most well known gas used for the Holocaust. However, most Jews were executed with carbon monoxide poisoning from truck exhaust because the Nazis had supply problems with Zyklon B. ___ The poison was hydrogen cyanide. Zyklon B was the base.
