The colors in the flame test are different (yellow for sodium, lilac for potassium).
The taste is also different.
Sodium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,1. Potassium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,8,1. They behave identically in almost all the chemical reactions. But then you have potassium chloride molecule inside the cell. You need to have sodium chloride molecules out side the body cell to make them survive. If you get intravenous injection of sodium chloride, nothing will happen to you. If you give intravenous injection of potassium chloride, you will die instantly. How body cells recognize the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride in no time is the big question mark.
No, sodium chloride (NaCl) will not react with potassium chloride (KCl) as both are stable ionic compounds and do not undergo chemical reactions between each other.
Sodium chloride and potassium chloride are solids that are both miscible in water.
The chemical formula (not abbreviation) of sodium chloride is NaCl.
Sodium chloride is isomorphic with potassium chloride.
When sodium chloride (NaCl) reacts with potassium oxide (K2O), it forms sodium oxide (Na2O) and potassium chloride (KCl). The reaction can be written as: 2NaCl + K2O → 2Na2O + 2KCl
Yes, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and potassium chloride (KCl) can react to form sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3). This reaction involves an exchange of ions between the two compounds.
Lite salt is a mixture 1:1 of sodium and potassium chloride.This is a mixture sodium chloride/potassium chloride in the ratio 1:1.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Additives may include potassium chloride and potassium iodide.
No, salt is composed of sodium and chloride.
The Hartmannn solution contain sodium lactate and sodium, potassium, calcium chlorides.
Examples: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium citrate, potassium permanganate, magnesium sulfate etc.
