What is the chemical equation potassium metal and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
2K(s) + Cl2(g) --> 2KCl(s)
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
What is the chemical equation of potassium metal and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
The chemical equation is:2 K + Cl2 = 2 KCl
What is the balanced equation for potassium metal and silver chloride?
KCl+Ag(NO3)--ARROW- AgCl+(KNO3)
Why is potassium chloride ionic?
KCl is potassium chloride. Potassium is an alkali metal that needs to lose one valence electron to expose a full outer shell. Chloride is a halide that needs to gain one valence electron to fill its outer shell. Potassium will 'donate' an electron to chloride, which results in potassium having a 1+ charge and chloride having a 1- charge. The positive and negative charge attract each other, which creates the ionic bond.
What is the metal present in potassium chloride?
It's NOT the metal as such but positive ion of the metal: Potassium, the K+ ion together with the negative chloride ion: Cl- they form the salt potassium chloride: KCl You see, it's always in the name of the salt
Does salt contain potassium?
No, salt is composed of sodium and chloride.
Potassium metal and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
2K+Cl2=2KCl
What phase is potassium chloride in?
At room temperature, KCl is a metal (solid).
Does potassium chloride contain gluten?
No, potassium chloride contains potassium chloride.
What is the compound name for KCl?
Potassium chloride
Potassium metal and clorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
Yes, but there are other, more harmless ways to produce KCl
How do you Subtract chloride from potassium chloride?
Potassium chloride is react with AgNO3 , the chloride ion subtract from potassium chloride to form silver chloride precipitate and potassium nirate. KCl + AgNO3 → KNO3 + AgCl↓
Why potassium chloride can be used as a substitute for sodium chloride?
Potassium and sodium are categorised under the same group which is Group 1 in the Periodic Table of Elements which consists of alkali metal. Therefore potassium and sodium possess the same chemical properties.
What is the chemical equation potassium metal and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride?
2K(s) + Cl2(g) --> 2KCl(s)
Observed product from the reaction of Iron II chloride and potassium carbonate?
Ther is no reaction that occurs because potassium is a more active metal and cannot be displaced by the iron (a weaker metal)
Can potassium chloride be prepared from zinc and hydrogen chloride?
No, reacting zinc with hydrogen chloride will yield zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Potassium chloride can be prepared by reacting potassium with hydrogen chloride or (more safely) potassium hydroxide with hydrogen chloride.
