when melted KCl breaks into K+ and Cl- ions,which help in conducting electricity.
This is a loose question. Since the most well known use for salt is in human diet, we could start an answer in this context. To replace dietary sodium chloride salt completely with potassium could well have fatal effects. Sodium chloride is essential for the function of the nervous system. However a high sodium (ion) intake can also be fatal. In the last few years, low sodium (ion) salts have been marketed. These might have as little 35% of the sodium of typical sodium chloride table salt, the substitute for the missing sodium is sometimes purely potassium chloride and sometimes potassium with some magnesium.
Add warm water to dissolve the KBr which is very soluble. This would become the aqueous layer and would be more dense and thus at the bottom. Add them to a sep funnel and decant. Evaporate the water off and you have the KBr. The remaining fluid in the sep funnel is npahthalene
Oh, dude, potassium chloride is totally sublime... in the scientific sense! It sublimes at high temperatures, meaning it goes from a solid to a gas without melting first. So yeah, it's like the David Blaine of chemicals, just disappearing into thin air.
kai·nitenoun Definition: mineral used as fertilizer: a variously colored mixed sulfate and chloride mineral containing potassium and magnesium. Use: source of potassium, fertilizer.
I was looking for an answer to this question too. I found on the internet tonight that Potassium Chloride is used as part of a number of chemicals that they use for lethal injection in the United states. Potassium Chloride stops the heart. Now isn't that a wonderful thing to be using in the place of salt? Salt might dry up the heart but Potassium Chloride stops the heart. I think that I will just forget about salt. I also think that it is really negligent to be selling this stuff as a natural food in health stores. They also have used it in hospitals and people have used Potassium Choride instead of a saline solution and this killed people. this is really a big thing and I would not have heard about it if I had not asked. I bought some to use as a salt substitute but I didn't like the taste and it is here in my drawer with other things that I don't use. I have heard that there is a few big wigs who want to bring the population down but I never thought that they would go this far. . I think that it is about time that we all just forgot about health food and start to grow our health food from scratch.
The question depends on what you start with.
Lithium chloride is not transformed in calcium chloride.
To prepare potassium chromate, start by dissolving potassium dichromate in water and then adding potassium hydroxide to adjust the pH. The solution is then heated to evaporate water, leaving behind potassium chromate crystals. Purify the crystals by recrystallization to obtain pure potassium chromate.
You can start a fire by putting a few drops of glycerine onto potassium permanganate crystals.
Potassium is on the periodic table as the letter K. I think this is what you were asking.

Potash is the common name given to any water-soluble salt of Potassium(K). It can be:-Potassium Carbonate - K2CO3Potassium Hydroxide - KOHPotassium Chloride - KClPotassium Nitrate - KNO3etc. See the link below for more information
