A colourless rhombohedral or trigonal solid, KNO3, soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol; r.d. 2.109; transition to trigonal form at 129°C; m.p. 334°C; decomposes at 400°C. It occurs naturally as nitre and may be prepared by the reaction of sodium nitrate with potassium chloride followed by fractional crystallization. It is a powerful oxidizing agent (releases oxygen on heating) and is used in gunpowder and fertilizers.
Potassium is a soft, highly reactive metal that occurs in nature (in compounds). It's obtained by electrolysis of its common hydroxide. It's converted to a wide range of salts that are used in fertilizers and soaps. atomic number: 19
generally by the electrolysis of potassium chloride.
extraction from the ore via electrolysis :)
2/4th part potassium. 2/4ths hydroxide. your welcome
Potassium + hydrochloric acid

An Alpha particle
The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is limited by their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride).
This is the basic copper carbonate - Cu2(OH)2CO3.
Minerals are simple chemical elements and are an essential part of your body's functioning. They can not be produced by your body and must be obtained through the food you eat.
there are two moles produced in potassium nitrate.
they are found in ores which are put in furnaces to extract the potassium and phosphorus.
Nothing is produced, 500g potassium chlorate will be the same 500 g potassium chlorate after reaction. Actually there is no reaction at all.
copper (thiocyanate)2 and potassium nitrate
Potassium produces a lilac flame
60 percent of the potash extracted in 2003 was produced as potassium chloride, with potassium sulfate and potassium magnesium sulfate--both for fertilizing certain crops and soils--representing the remainder
Potassium sulfate = K2SO4
Potassium and bromine form the ionic compound potassium bromide with the chemical formula KBr.
Reddish precipitate of Mercuric iodide and clear solution of Potassium chloride is produced
ARTIFICAL
Potassium and bromine form the ionic compound potassium bromide with the chemical formula KBr.
None, unless there is metallic potassium in the reaction mixture. Assuming excess potassium metal is present then 14 moles of KBr can be produced. 7BaBr2 + excess potassium -----> 14KBr + 7 Ba
