Potassium Nitrate is a compound. The transition metals are found in groups 4-12 of the Periodic Table
K+, I think.
Technically, yes. Potassium nitrate is a potassium atom attached to the nitrate ion.
Sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate are all water soluble.
Aluminum and potassium nitrate won't react when mixed together because aluminum is a more reactive metal than potassium and will not displace potassium from its nitrate compound. This means that the reaction between aluminum and potassium nitrate is not energetically favorable.
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
No, potassium is not found in the ground as a native metal. It is highly reactive and typically bonded to other elements in compounds like potassium chloride or potassium nitrate.
Potassium nitrate = KNO3
potassium nitrite
Potassium nitrate is a compound. Its formula is KNO3.
Potassium nitrate is ionic. Metal compounds tend to be ionic as metal atoms readily form positive ions. It consists of potassium (K+) ions (group 1 metals always form 1+ ions) and nitrate (NO3-) ions in a 1:1 ratio.
Potassium nitrate is composed of about 38.7% potassium.
Potassium is the alkali metal found in most gunpowder formulations. It plays a crucial role in the chemical reaction that creates the explosive force when gunpowder ignites.
