In lethal injections it is the third drug that is used to stop the heart.
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.
Examples: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate, sodium citrate, potassium permanganate, magnesium sulfate etc.
Potassium carbonate has been used for soap, glass, and china production. In the laboratory, it may be used as a mild drying agent where other drying agents such as calcium chloride may be incompatible. However, it is not suitable for acidic compounds.
Most leg cramp maladies can be associated with dehydration and depletion of potassium. Gator-ade has sodium chloride, which replenishes lost potassium, as well as rehydrates.

Yes. Incorrect. Australia does not have capital punishment.

Should be by sublimation. We make use of the fact that iodine sublimes(changes to solid to gas immediately) upon heating why potassium chloride does not :D
