This is what I was able to find out: (pə′tas·ē·əm ′sör′bāt) (organic chemistry) C6H7KO2 A crystalline compound, more soluble in water than in alcohol; decomposes above 270°C; used to inhibit mold and yeast growth in food. (It is said to be a mild preservative used in food and vitamins and as a yeast and mold inhibitor in wine making.)
Potassium (K, 19) is a radioactive element. It is found in bananas (Yes, your bananas are slightly radioactive, but it won't harm you; eat all the bananas you like.). It is an alkali metal, which means it rects violently with water.
No. Potassium (atomic symbol: K) is an element. It is a part of many different minerals. But it in itself is not actually a mineral.
Yes, it is correct.
No. Potassium is an element. In terms of nutrition it is a mineral.
can be many things depending on the region, but the primary mineral is almost always iron.
No potassium OXIDE is not: IT IS A METAL. IT IS A METAL.And it is not a NONmetal either.Potassium OXIDE K2O is a basic oxide: with water it forms (only) potassium hydroxide, KOHPotassium (elemental) is a alkali metal
The word "potash" is derived from the element "potassium". It refers to the natural salt potassium chloride (KCl) which is a mineral much used in the production of fertilizer.
Sodium carbonate can be made by the Solvay process from brine (sodium chloride) and limestone (calcium carbonate). In the US there are large deposits of a mineral called Trona which is sodium bicarbonate carbonate, and it is obtained from that. Potassium carbonate is made by electrolysis of potassium chloride which is found as mineral Sylvite, which gives potassium hydroxide which is then carbonated with CO2. See wikipedia entries for Solvay Process, Trona, and Potassium Carbonate
No. Potassium is an element. In terms of nutrition it is a mineral.
Potassium is a mineral which is really important for heart function, skeletal and smooth muscle contraction.
Potassium mineral salts are used for making some of the enzymes the plants don't need. Potassium mineral salts are used for making some of the enzymes the plants need. Or cheese?......

No, in dietary terms it is a mineral.

Potassium is a mineral element that exists in nature. I guess potassium would be the same age as the earth.
