What is the explosive force of Potassium when it comes in contact with cold water?

Potassium reacts violently with cold water, producing potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is exothermic, releasing a significant amount of heat, which can potentially ignite the hydrogen gas, causing a small explosion. It is important to handle potassium with caution to prevent accidents.

Why wouldn't you use potassium to make potassium chloride?

The reaction between potassium and hydrochloric acid is very violent, even explosive. On contact with the acid the reaction rapidly releases heat and hydrogen gas, which ignites. This in turn sets the potassium on fire. When this happens the potassium may explode, scattering flaming molten globules of metal.


When potassium nitrate burns what kind of gas is produced?

Potassium nitrate doesn't burn The oxidation numbers of all of the elemnst are K +1, N +5 so they are as oxidised as they can get. Potassium nitrate was a constiten t of gun powder- it was a source of oxygen for the explosive combustion of the carbon and sulfur


Potassium chloride flammable when mixed with sulfur?

Potassium chloride itself is not flammable. However, when mixed with sulfur, the mixture can become flammable as sulfur can act as a fuel source. This mixture can be explosive when exposed to high heat or flame.
