Can potassium hydroxide be a source of potassium as K for plants?

KOH will dissolve into K+ and OH-, which would make K+ cations available for uptake by a plant for instance. However, KOH is a strong base (dissociates nearly 100% into ions) and thus will significantly increase the pH of your watering solution, possibly beyond levels your plant can tolerate...NOT RECOMMENDED!

Which two elements are contained in all hydroxides?
Potassium Hydroxide - KOH - Potassium, Oxygen and Hydrogen
What is the word equation for the reaction of Li Na and K with H2O?
Lithium + water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Sodium + water = Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium + water = Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
Is KOH a polyprotic acid?
Because KOH is potassium hydroxide, you can recall that in biology you must have learned about H+ being and acid and OH- being a base and K(OH) contains the one hydroxide making it a base, not an acid.
What is the name for K and I- in chemistry?
K is potassium and I is Iodine. K is potassium and I is Iodine
What is the symbol for potasssium?
The Atomic Symbol for Potassium is K
What is the formula for the ionic compound from potassium hydroxide?
K+ and OH- is KOH -----------
What elements makes hydroxide?
potassium hydroxide: KOH K: potassium O: oxygen H: hydrogen
Which two elements are contained in all hydroxides?
Potassium Hydroxide - KOH - Potassium, Oxygen and Hydrogen
What elements make pottasium hydroxide?
potassium hydroxide: KOH K: potassium O: oxygen H: hydrogen
What is the difference in sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide?
The difference is that sodium hydroxide contains the sodium ion (Na+) while potassium hydroxide contains the potassium ion (K+). Sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have different properties.
Are potassium and sodium hydroxide the same thing?
No. Potassium is K and Sodium is Na. Potassium is K; Sodium hydroxide is NaOH (aq) Perhaps you meant Potassium hydroxide? KOH (aq) both are very strong bases, meaning that both will disassociate completely in water, but they are not the same thing.
Is potassium hydroxide a gas?
Potassium hydroxide is a solid at the standard room temperature and pressure. It has a melting point around 1200 K.
What elements are in potassium hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide has the formula 'KOH'. K = potassium (Kalium = Latin) O = oxygen H = hydrogen .
What are KOH pellets?
Potassium (K) Hydroxide (OH) pellets.
What does k plus h2o make in chemistry?
Potassium hydroxide and hydrogen.
What is the word equation for the reaction of Li Na and K with H2O?
Lithium + water = lithium hydroxide + hydrogen Sodium + water = Sodium hydroxide + hydrogen Potassium + water = Potassium hydroxide + hydrogen
What ions are formed when KNO3 is dissolved in water?
potassium ion and hydroxyl ion will be produced and solution is alkaline
