  • Yes
  • Potassium chloride can react as a source of chloride ion. As with any other soluble ionic chloride, it will precipitate insoluble chloride salts when added to a solution of an appropriate metal ion:

K Cl (aq) + Ag N O3 (aq) → Ag Cl (s) + K N O3 (aq)

Why does magnesium chloride have a much higher melting point than water?

magnesium chloride is a ionic structure there for forming a giant ionic lattice, each atom is held by a ionic bond. H2O is a simple molecular structure there for the molecules are held by intermolecular forces which are easily overcome, however the molecules aren't broken up it is only the structure. :)= Sav


Is magnesium bromide giant or simple structures?

A giant structure. MgBr2 is ionic and forms an ionic lattice.


Why is there no face centered hexagonal lattice?

Simple reason - It violates the cubic symmetry. To see it from another perspective - Base centered cubic lattice is equivalent to a simple tetragonal lattice. Draw two unit cells adjacent to each other. Then connect the base center points to the corener points which are shared by these two unit cells. Then connect the two base centered point in each unit cell. Now you have a simple tetragonal lattice. Simple tetragonal lattice has one lattice point per unit cell compared to two lattice point per unit cell of base centered lattice. Always the lower lattice point lattice is considered for a given symmetry. Because of symmetry breaking, the symmetry of base centered cubic lattice is same as tetragonal lattice.


Is a diamond mixture or a pure substance?

Simple answer: it is a pure substance Non-Simple answer: Diamonds contain impurities in their lattice structure that are other elements, so technically it is slightly a mixture, but only if you get really picky about it.

What is the difference between plain potassium pills and potassium gluconate pills?

In practicality, none. It is fairly simple chemistry. Potassim (K) typically does not just exist naturally as itself. It is usually is bonded with some other elements or substance. In the case of Potassium Pills, it is bonded with chloride and you get KCl. Potassium Gluconate just uses a a gluconate molecule instead of a Cl to bind it to. You may compare this to Na Cl or Sodium Chloride (Table Salt). You never eat sodium alone, it is always in combination with Chloride. The reason in short is that when Potassium is combined with another chemical it becomes charged positive (K+) and this is useful for your body. Any supplement you buy that contains Potassium, whether it be Potassium Gluconate or Potassium Chloride, are most often the same.


What are good alternatives to salt?

The classic example is a mixture of sodium chloride with potassium chloride; simple KCl has a bad taste.


What are the differences between the Frenkel and Schottky defects?

A Schottky defect is when 2 oppositely charged ions leave their normal lattice positions forming 2 vacancies in the lattice structure. This contrasts to a Frenkel defect, where 1 ion simple moves from it's normal lattice position to an interstitial site (tetrahedral/octahedral hole).
