No, since KCl is an electrolyte a solution of it would most likely speed up rusting.

What is the formula for potassium cholorate breaks down into oxygen and potassium chloride?

2KClO3 ----> 2KCl + 3O2


How do you separate water from potassium chloride solution?

Assuming you just try to get a purer gold, solve the potassium gold chloride in pure water, and slowly add a diluted solution of potassium hydroxide (caustic potash). This makes the gold precipitate out of solution as gold hydroxide. Two things that need be taken care of: first, avoid direct sunlight as it reduces the gold hydroxide to elemental metallic gold. Unless, of course, that's what you are looking after. Second, add the potash slowly, and stop as soon as you see the solution becoming a dark red, blue, violet or black (color varies depending on conditions). If you keep adding potash beyond that point, it would somewhat re-dissolve the gold hydroxide. If that happens, add a bit of diluted chlorhidric acid (ClH) to acidify the solution, and repeat the addition of potash. The dark liquid contains the gold hydroxide, but needs be left to stand for hours until all of the hydroxide falls down, and can be separated by decantation or filtration. Gold hydroxide gets easily dissolved by chlorhidric acid, if you want to make it into gold chloride.


What kind of reaction takes place when sodium chloride is dissovled in water?

A "reaction" doesn't really occur, but the sodium chloride ionic crystal structure is broken down by the hydration energy fo the water in a process called "solution" (or dissolving). The NaCl then remains as dissociated Na+ and Cl- ions in solution (aqueous).


How you would prepare a sample of solid sodium chloride from sodium hydroxide solution and hydrochloric acid?

Add concentrated solution of Hydro chloric acid to the solution of sodium hydroxide till mixture becomes neutral (checked by litmus) then heat the mixture , when a little amount of water is left allow to cool the mixture , the crystals of sodium chloride settelted down filter and dry the crystals.


How can you prepare ferrous oxalate?

Add ferrous chloride solid to saturated aqueous solution of oxalic acid then to expel the HCl gas then saturated solution is allow to cool the crystals of ferrous oxalate settled down with in few minutes remove the excess liquid and get the dry compound.

What are the electrolyes in the body?

An electrolyte is a liquid that contains ions. The body fluids such as blood, plasma and interstitial fluid has a high concentration of sodium chloride, which is broken down into sodium ion (Na+) and chloride ion (Cl-).

Barium chloride and sodium sulphate in water react to give insoluble barium sulphate and the solution of sodium chloride?

Yes, it is true. The equation of reaction is :- BaCl2 + Na2SO4 --------> 2NaCl(aq.) + BaSO4 where solution is of sodium chloride and Barium sulphate settles down at the bottom as precipitate


Which alkali metal flavors food?

A salt of (usually) sodium or (sometimes) potassium, combined with the halogen Chlorine, flavors food. Potassium chloride is used by people who want to cut down on their salt for health reasons, but be careful - too much potassium chloride will stop your heart.


What is electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride?

Sodium metal can be obtained by electrolysis from molten mixture of sodium chloride and calcium chloride in Down's cell. The metal can not be obtained by electrolysis from aqueous solution, because hydrogen will evolve instead.


Why can't you lay down for 30 minutes after you take potassium pills?

You shouldn't lay down for 30 minutes after taking potassium supplements because you want to make sure that they are completely swallowed. It's a good idea to drink a large glass of water with them as well. If you lay down or don't take them with alot of water, it could burn your esophagus. This advice applies to potassium chloride pills (KCl). An alternative to taking the KCl pills for potassium repletion is to take potassium citrate. It will replete your potassium with out the side effects of KCl.

How do you dispose of Potassium Chloride that is out dated?

Wash it down the drain with plenty of water - it is sold as lo-salt - low sodium (sodium-free) table salt.
