you get potash which is white ash from plants which is potassium hydroxide and heat it up until it melts or becomes liquidy i use mapp gas propane isn't hot enough and while its melted cut off the heat and run electricity through it which is electrolysis and you got a pure sample of concentrated potassium.

How do you separate a mixture of oleic acid and solid potassium nitrate and powdered charcoal?
Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, the solution is filtered and evaporated.Oleic acid is soluble in ethanol and separated by filtration and evaporation of the alcohol.
How will you separate a mixture of pebbles grass and sand?
we will separate a mixture of sand pebbles and grassgrass - winnowingsand - winnowingpebbles - handpicking .
What is hetero genous mixture?
A heterogeneous mixture is a type of mixture that has multiple components. These components are separate physically in this kind of mixture.
What is the filtrate in sulfur and potassium chloride mixture?
The word "filtrate' is not adequate for a mixture of S and KCl as solids.
What is the major function of potassium magnesium in the body?
potassium magnesium doesn't exist. They are two separate "metals".
How do you separate a mixture of limestone and sawdust and wood chips and potassium nitrate?
By using charle's perveratinas
How do you separate of sodium chloride and potassium trioxonitrate?

How do you separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride?
Gently heat - ammonium chloride will sublime on a cold solid surface
How do you separate a mixture of potassium chloride and iodine give details?
Should be by sublimation. We make use of the fact that iodine sublimes(changes to solid to gas immediately) upon heating why potassium chloride does not :D
How do you separate a mixture of oleic acid and solid potassium nitrate and powdered charcoal?
Potassium nitrate is soluble in water, the solution is filtered and evaporated.Oleic acid is soluble in ethanol and separated by filtration and evaporation of the alcohol.
How can you separate a mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride?
A mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium chloride can be separated using the process of sublimation. You must also note that both these substances are sublimable. Well this technique is quite feasible in this case as the sublimable temperatures of ammonium and potassium chloride differ widely. Between the two, ammonium chloride has lower sublimable temperature. Therefore, it sublimes first followed by potassium chloride.
Is Potassium Chlorate a mixture?
No, it is a compound.
What do you depend on to separate a mixture?
You depend on the physical state of the constituents to separate a mixture
Example of element and compound mixture?
Element: oxygen, potassium Compound: sodium chloride, potassium dichromate Mixture: air, orange juice
Is a potassium dichromate a pure substance or a mixture in dissolved water?
