Is potassium highly reactive or not usually reactive?
Potassium is highly reactive, even explosive in some circumstances.
What will be formed when potassium nitrate urea and phosphoric acid mixed?
It may produce an explosive mixture on standing .
Is potash flammable?
Potassium is flamible. Potassium can be lit in two ways ;heat from a flame and water belive it or not.by chris lewin
What are Substitutes for potassium carbonate?
Potassium nitrate is one of the main 'ingredients' in salt peter which is the leading explosive part of gunpowder. So thank nitrates for fireworks!
Is potassium nitrate illegal?
Potassium nitrate isn't illegal if you don't buy too much of it. Since potassium nitrate is a major component (along with sulfur and charcoal) of gunpowder which is an explosive, you cannot buy very large amounts of it without getting at least a little bit suspected.
What is the explosive force of Potassium when it comes in contact with cold water?
The explosive force is the reaction of potassium with water liberating hydrogen.
Is potassium highly reactive or not usually reactive?

Why is liquid potassium chlorate so explosive with gummi bears?
Potassium chlorate contains oxygen atoms. These allow the sugar in the Gummi Bear to burn.
What is the use of potassium?
Potassium nitrate is one of the main 'ingredients' in salt peter which is the leading explosive part of gunpowder. So thank nitrates for fireworks!
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.

What is the material used in dynamite?
It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.
