What should you do if the potassium chlorate is bubbling too vigorously?
If the potassium chlorate is bubbling too vigorously, you should immediately stop the reaction by removing the heat source or turning off the burner. Do not try to cool it down using water as it can cause splattering. Allow it to cool down on its own and assess the situation before determining the next steps.
What does sodium chloride do in your body?
Potassium chlorate was one key ingredient in early firearms percussion caps (primers) . It continues in that application, where not supplanted by potassium perchlorate. Chlorate-based propellants are more efficient than traditional gunpowder and are less susceptible to damage by water. However, they can be extremely unstable in the presence of sulfur or phosphorus and are much more expensive. Chlorate propellants must be used only in equipment designed for them; failure to follow this precaution is a common source of accidents. Potassium chlorate, often in combination with silver fulminate, is used in trick noise-makers known as "crackers", "snappers", "pop-its", or "bang-snaps", a popular type of novelty firework. When mixed with a suitable fuel, it may form an explosive material, a so-called Sprengel explosive. The hygroscopic and slightly weaker sodium chlorate is sometimes used as a safer and less expensive substitute for potassium chlorate. In World War I, mixes of potassium chlorate with plasticizers (such as wax) were the most common type of plastic explosive used, often filling grenades and other munitions. When used in explosives as an oxidizer, the explosive is low order meaning it burns rapidly rather than explodes. When mixed with a plasticizer, it may become high order, requiring a blasting cap (generally a commercial #8) to detonate properly. Potassium chlorate is also used in some formulas of gunpowder, generally replacing the less powerful potassium nitrate. Potassium chlorate is often used in high school and college laboratories to generate oxygen gas; it is a far cheaper source than a pressurized or cryogenic oxygen tank. Potassium chlorate will readily decompose if heated in contact with a catalyst, typically manganese (IV) dioxide (MnO2). Thus, it may be simply placed in a test tube and heated over a burner. If the test tube is equipped with a one-holed stopper and hose, warm oxygen can be drawn off. The reaction is as follows: 2KClO3(s) + heat → 3O2(g) + 2KCl(s) The safe performance of this reaction requires very pure reagents and careful temperature control. Molten potassium chlorate is an extremely powerful oxidizer and will spontaneously react with many common materials. Explosions have resulted from liquid chlorates spattering into the latex or PVC tubes of oxygen generators, as well as from contact between chlorates and hydrocarbon sealing greases. Impurities in potassium chlorate itself can also cause problems. When working with a new batch of potassium chlorate, it is advisable to take a small sample (~ 1 gram) and heat it strongly on an open glass plate. Contamination may cause this small quantity to explode, indicating that the chlorate should be discarded. Potassium chlorate is used in chemical oxygen generators (also called chlorate candles or oxygen candles), employed as oxygen-supply systems of e.g. aircraft, space stations, and submarines, and has been responsible for at least one plane crash. A fire on the space station Mir was also traced to this substance. The decomposition of potassium chlorate was also used to provide the oxygen supply for limelights. Potassium chlorate is used also as a pesticide. In Finland it was sold under trade name Fegabit.
Is one whole banana too much for a six month old?
yes, they could get potassium poisoning and die
What is Sympthom of too much potassium?
A symptom (sometimes misspelled as sympthom) of too much potassium is slow or abnormal heart rate. Too much potassium can also cause weakness.
What cause potassium to be high?
what causes your potassium to be too high
Why would you not make a potassium compound by reacting potassium metal with an acid?
Potassium is too reactive to mix with acid
Is potassium needed in order to survive?
Potassium is a vital nutrient to our survival. Primarily it helps control blood pressure and heart function. Too much is bad as well as too little. A banana has a good deal of potassium in it.
What did Thompson's experiments lead too?
Sir thompson did a huge service. His experiments led us to correct atomic structure.
What are the main nutrients in courgette?
It has fiber in it. It has potassium too. i think
Hyperkalemia occurs when a person consumes supplements with too much?
potassium
What is the chemical formula for Potassium and chlorine?
I don't know. I'm trying to figure that out too.
How do you separate potassium nitrate from potassium oxide?
Yes. If you mix it with a metal that is higher on the Activity Series of Metals, that metal will replace the lower metal. In our case, Lithium is the only element that is higher than potassium. So, the Lithium would replace the Potassium, forming Potassium and Lithium Nitrate.
