Describe the action of heat on ammonium dichromate?

well usually when ammonium dichromate goes into heat such as flame it ignites and turn dark green..it created Cromium III Oxide Heat (NH4)2Cr2O7-->N2+4H2O+Cr2O3 nerd :) :0 :v i like pie


What happens when potassium permanganate and glycerol is heated?

It behaves like a firework - and reacts very vigorously with the evolution of carbon dioxide and heat. Water is also evolved but because of the heat it comes off as steam. The equation is 3 C3H5(OH)3 + 14 KMnO4 ---à 14 MnO2 + 14 KOH + 9 CO2 + 5 H2O It DOES NOT need heat to do this. After about 10 seconds this reaction will occur. Heat will accelerate the process and make it much more dangerous.


What happens when it is put in water potassium?

Potassium metal will react violently with water to form KOH and hydrogen gas. Due to the heat released by the reaction - the hydrogen gas will ignite. So: placing potassium in water will cause a fire!


What happens when you mix potassium permanganate with oil?

there will be a chemical reaction called combustion. potassium permanganate as the oxidant and oil obviously as fuel if the two were mixed they needed to release energy in form of heat.


What is the effect of heat on the nitrate of potassium?

it decomposes into potassium nitrite and oxygen.


What happens when you mix sulphuric acid and potassium hydroxide liquid?

This would produce an energetic reaction with a lot of heat, and the product would be water and potassium sulfate (as long as the molar quantities of the reactants are the same, otherwise you will have leftover sulfuric acid or leftover potassium hydroxide).


What is occurring when a piece of potassium metal ignites in a beaker of water?

The potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and large amounts of heat. The heat ignites the hydrogen which in turn ignites the potassium.


Can potassium conduct heat?

yes


Is potassium a heat conductor?

Yes.


Does potassium vigorously react with acid and also conducts heat?

Potassium does indeed react vigorously with acid and also conducts heat well.
