Potassium is a mineral element that exists in nature. I guess potassium would be the same age as the earth.
The letter "K" comes from potassium's old name, "kalium".
no
Potassium wouldn't have a chemical formula as its not a compound, its an element by itself, represented by the symbol K. A chemical formula with potassium in it would be something like potassium iodide (KI) or potassium oxide (K20).
Potassium reacts vigorously with water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction releases a lot of heat and hydrogen gas, which can ignite, resulting in a flame or explosion. Therefore, it is not safe to put potassium in water.
Also in use are the names natrium and kalium: they are not obsolete.
Muriate of potash is also known as potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is used as a fertilizer and this is its largest application.
The element Potassium (symbol K from its old name of 'kalium')Potassium.
Potassium + Chlorine --> Potassium Chloride (potassium plus chlorine arrow potassium chloride)
I believe it is Potassium Hydride. I believe it is Potassium Hydride.
Potassium is a metallic element and a member of the Alkali Metal group, it has the symbol K which is derived from its old name of Kalium.
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
i think either potassium(II) sulfate or potassium sulfate
