What else can I help you with?
Is potassium a metalnonmetalsemimetalor inert gas?
It is a metal (alkali metal)
If potassium neon and iodine mix what happens to neon?
Nothing will happen as neon is chemically inert.
Is potassium more reactive than argon?
Yes you are correct, potassium being an alkali metal is definitely more reactive than argon which is a noble gas (group 18 element). Potassium reacts violently with just water while argon is very inert and stable, which is why it remains in the atmosphere as a monatomic element.
How do you stop potassium reacting with oxygen?
To prevent potassium from reacting with oxygen, it should be stored under mineral oil or kerosene, which creates a barrier between the potassium and oxygen in the air. Additionally, keeping potassium in a vacuum or inert gas environment can also prevent it from reacting with oxygen.
How do you make potassium polysulfide?
Potassium polysulfide can be made by reacting potassium sulfide with sulfur at high temperature in an inert atmosphere. The reaction forms a mixture of potassium polysulfides with varying sulfur chain lengths. The resulting product can be isolated by filtration and purification processes.
Why alkane don't reaction with potassium permanganate?
Alkanes do not react with potassium permanganate because they are relatively inert and do not contain any functional groups that can undergo oxidation or substitution reactions with the oxidizing agent. Potassium permanganate is typically used to oxidize compounds with functional groups like alcohols, aldehydes, and double bonds, which are absent in alkanes.
Is argon and potassium the same?
No, argon and potassium are not the same. They are two different elements on the periodic table with different physical and chemical properties. Argon is a noble gas with atomic number 18, while potassium is an alkali metal with atomic number 19.
What forms does potassium conduct electricity in?
Potassium is a metal. Like other metals, potassium will conduct electricity in both the solid and liquid (or molten) forms. But because potassium is so very reactive, you will never find it in metallic form on earth, unless it is specially prepared and stored, usually in a sealed container submerged in an inert liquid. Potassium is found in nature as ionic salts. Ionic salts conduct electricity in a molten state, but not a solid state.
What are the products of the electrolysis of molten potassium chloride?
There is Na+ and Cl- ions in the solution. Therefore, assuming the electrodes are inert, sodium ions will be discharged as sodium metal on the cathode and Chloride ions will be discharged from the anode as chlorine gas
What is the chemical formula potassium and bromine?
Groups go in columns (up and down) and periods go in rows (left to right). Potassium is on the same row as bromine, therefore they are in the same period.
What kind of electrolyte should be used in a salt bridge?
something inert: potassium chloride, sodium chloride
Which Metals are stored in inert gas?
Any of the reactive metals would require some sort of inert storage - that could be an inert gas, paraffin oil, or you could store them in a tube that has been sealed whilst under vacuum. Of the elements, the most common reactive metals requiring inert gas storage are Lithium Sodium Potassium Rubidium Caesium Calcium Strontium Barium Others include some of the lathanides (such as Europium) and Actinides (such as Uranium) react with air, or the moisture in the air. The other relatively common example of a metal requiring inert storage is sodium-potassium alloy (commonly know an NaK alloy). This is a very reactive liquid at room temperature and watching two of my colleagues dealing with a NaK fire in a fume cupboard at work was one of the most entertaining afternoons of my career!
