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
Potassium Chloride (KCl) is a salt made up of Potassium (which IS a metal) and Chlorine, which is a gas. The compound is a solid at room temperature.
No, salt is composed of sodium and chloride.
2K+Cl2=2KCl
Examples: calcium phosphates, sodium chloride, potassium chloride etc.
At room temperature, KCl is a metal (solid).
No, potassium chloride contains potassium chloride.
Potassium chloride
It should be written as KCl, it is called Potassium chloride and it is composed of Potassium (K) and Chlorine (Cl).
Yes, but there are other, more harmless ways to produce KCl
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↓
Chlorine
Na+ - sodium
