Potassium nitrate is used in fertilisers as a nitrate source, sometimes in food as a preservative (although other nitrates work better and are used more often), in ice cream making, in toothpastes for sensitive teeth, and in fireworks and some explosives as an oxidant for the fuel.
It's usually useful for making smoke bomb compositions with sugar if you have it domestically. It can also oxidize other fuels.
In the lab, it is used in many chemical reactions that would have to depend on what you want to do.
It has a variety of uses in the fireworks/explosives and fertilizer industry. It is also used in the use of making matches, glass manufacturing, Metallurgy.
It is used in black/gunpowder (if you have it in your house).
No, silve nitrate is used in photography
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
Potassium nitrate is the oxidizer used in black powder. Although other oxidizers are stronger(potassium perchlorate for example), it must not be replaced by them. If the term used is black powder, potassium nitrate is the only oxidizer that ought to be used.
Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There is one potassium per one nitrate. One mole of potassium nitrate contains one mole of nitrate.
The difference between potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate is that the potassium nitrate is superior to potassium sulphate. The potassium nitrate has high solubility while the potassium sulphate has moderate solubility.
Yes, potassium nitrate can be used as a fertilizer in agriculture.
No, silve nitrate is used in photography
Potassium nitrate is used to make fireworks and black powder (which is used in gun powder).
The chemical formula KNO3 is for potassium nitrate.
KNO3 is the chemical formula of potassium nitrate.
Three commonly know uses for potassium nitrate are gunpowder, medicines, and plant fertilizer.
Technically, yes. Potassium nitrate is a potassium atom attached to the nitrate ion.
Potassium nitrate is the oxidizer used in black powder. Although other oxidizers are stronger(potassium perchlorate for example), it must not be replaced by them. If the term used is black powder, potassium nitrate is the only oxidizer that ought to be used.
Potassium nitrate = KNO3
Potassium nitrate is KNO3. There is one potassium per one nitrate. One mole of potassium nitrate contains one mole of nitrate.
The difference between potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate is that the potassium nitrate is superior to potassium sulphate. The potassium nitrate has high solubility while the potassium sulphate has moderate solubility.
lead nitrate + potassium bromide --> lead bromide + potassium nitrate
