Potasium was discovered when a chemist spent a lot of time thinking that our urine was somehow gold, and so he gathered a lot of urine and evaporated it to get the crystals! But this wasn't gold it turned out to be potasium!

Answer 2

sir humprhy davy discovered it in 1807 by running an electrical current through some potash (pot-ash) which melted it making potassium

Pot ash is made by burning plant leaves

pot ash is the old name for Potassium Hydroxide (KOH)

Potassium Hydroxide is a Highly Corrosive substance even when dissolved it heats up to about 150-180 degrees , when molten it is extrmely corrosive its fumes can dissolve lung and organic tissue in seconds becarefull
Potassium metal, was first isolated by Sir Humphery Davy in 1807AD by the electrolysis of fused potassium hydroxide.

Potassium metal is prepared by heating potassium carbonate with charcoal. 2 C + KCO3 ==> 2 K + 3 CO2
Potassium metal was discovered in 1807 in England by Sir Humphry Davy, who derived it from caustic potash (KOH), by the use of electrolysis of the molten salt with the newly discovered voltaic pile.

Before the 18th century, no distinction was made between potassium and sodium. Potassium was the first metal that was isolated by electrolysis. Davy extracted sodium by a similar technique, demonstrating the elements to be different.
