How do you make potassium chloride with H20?
When KOH reacts with HCl, these products are formed. This is a neutralization reaction. KOH is a base while HCl is an acid.
Why does an acid and a base make an explosion?
Reacting an acid with a bicarbonate compound produces carbon dioxide gas. This is the gas produced in the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (aqueous acetic acid) reaction.
Why wouldn't you use potassium to make potassium chloride?
The reaction between potassium and hydrochloric acid is very violent, even explosive. On contact with the acid the reaction rapidly releases heat and hydrogen gas, which ignites. This in turn sets the potassium on fire. When this happens the potassium may explode, scattering flaming molten globules of metal.
How do they make lead shot?
lead nitrate and potassium carbonate, mix both and stir. filter the mixture and dry the residue with filter paper
How do you make spirit of nitre?
traditionally made thru the distillation of potassium nitrate. It is nitric acid
Potassium carbonate should not be used as a drying agent for some organic compounds would it be better for use in drying an ether solution containing an acid RCOOH or a base RNH2and why?
NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid NH2 potassium carbonate itself is basic so it will make water and a salt if mixed with acid
What combination of acid and base can be used to make the salt potassium chloride kci?
HCL (hydrochloric acid) and KOH (Potassium hydroxide)HCL + KOH = KCL + H2Oso you need hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide.
How do you get potassium nitrate out of a mixture with calcium carbonate?
calcium carbonate+ nitric acid. a strong acid would replace a weaker acid in most ionic compounds, so you would produce calcium nitrate and carbon dioxide. well, being that nitric acid is widely UNAVAILABLE to most people, it is easy to find potassium or sodium nitrate. if you are going specifically for calcium nitrate you can double displace calcium carbonate with potassium or sodium nitrate resulting in potassium or sodium carbonate and (aq) calcium nitrate. the potassium or sodium carbonate will probably precipitate out much quicker than the nitrate depending on how exact your equation for displacement is. and you should be left with (aq) calcium nitrate. boil off the water and preferably recrystallize for purity. if youre using calcium carbonate just to get any form of nitrate, i recommend simply buying potassium nitrate. if it is not assessable in your area and are trying to get an oxidizer ( i assume thats why you are trying to make a nitrate) i recommend going with a chlorate or perchlorate, these are easier to make at home through electrolysis.
What combination of acid and base can me used to make the salt potassium chloride?
The reaction is:KOH + HCl = KCl + H2O
Why would you not make a potassium compound by reacting potassium metal with an acid?
Potassium is too reactive to mix with acid
What acid would you add to potassium hydroxide to make potassium chloride and water?
Hydrochloric Acid
What does zinc carbonate and sulphuric acid make?
zinc carbonate + sulphuric acid = zinc sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
What other ingredients apart from vinegar and baking soda make froth?
Any acid (stronger than carbonic -, but use only diluted for safety!)(e.g. citric, lactic or gluconic acid)will do the trick with any carbonate or hydrogen carbonate(e.g. calcium, magnesium, potassium, ammonium or ferric).
What does hydrochloric acid and potassium make?
Potassium Chloride and hydrogen gas
What does zinc carbonate and nitric acid make?
Smithsonite
What elements make up potassuim carbonate?
K2CO3 Potassium Carbon Oxygen
How do you make potassium humate from humic acid?
write the chemical equation of prepearation potassium humate from humic acid
