Is potassium also called potash?

No potash is potassium carbonate, which contains the potassium (K+) ion


How is conventional potash mining and solution mining of potash the same?

Both conventional potash mining and solution mining involve extracting potash minerals from underground deposits. Both methods typically involve drilling wells and pumping water or brine to dissolve the potash, which is then brought to the surface for processing. However, conventional mining involves physically extracting the potash ore, while solution mining involves pumping water or brine into the ore deposit to dissolve the potash and then pumping the resulting brine solution to the surface for further processing.


What is the chemical formula of potash atom?

The chemical formula for potassium carbonate, commonly referred to as potash, is K2CO3.


What is the theoretical yield of potash alum in preparation of potash alum?

The theoretical yield of potash alum in a preparation reaction can be calculated using stoichiometry and the balanced chemical equation. The amount of potash alum produced will depend on the starting materials used and their quantities in the reaction. It is important to consider the limiting reactant to determine the maximum amount of product that can be formed.


Correct ionic name for potash?

The correct ionic name for potash is potassium ions. Potash typically refers to potassium-rich compounds such as potassium chloride or potassium carbonate that release potassium ions when dissolved in water.
