Where is potassium produced?
A colourless rhombohedral or trigonal solid, KNO3, soluble in water, insoluble in alcohol; r.d. 2.109; transition to trigonal form at 129°C; m.p. 334°C; decomposes at 400°C. It occurs naturally as nitre and may be prepared by the reaction of sodium nitrate with potassium chloride followed by fractional crystallization. It is a powerful oxidizing agent (releases oxygen on heating) and is used in gunpowder and fertilizers.
