The energy required to break its ionic bonding is too great to allow net motion of anions or cations in one direction through the solid.
Potassium reacts very violently with water, leading to the production of hydrogen gas and heat, which can cause explosions and fires. Using potassium in water pipes can lead to safety hazards and damage to the pipes. It is not chemically stable enough for use in this application.
Yes. If you mix it with a metal that is higher on the Activity Series of Metals, that metal will replace the lower metal. In our case, Lithium is the only element that is higher than potassium. So, the Lithium would replace the Potassium, forming Potassium and Lithium Nitrate.
An salt cube nvm nvm Schumachere adds: This is NOT the answer. If you look on different sites, you will find that the answer is a solid. A salt cube is an example of a solid, yes, but it is not the answer to this specific question.
Yes it is, it is a solid with many air holes so you can compress it, but then it goes back into it original shape. Unlike Liquids and Gases, which cant.
Sodium and potassium are both metals that typically form ionic bonds with nonmetals. Due to their low electronegativity, they are unlikely to form a covalent bond with each other as it would require sharing of electrons, which is not favorable for metals.
i was hoping somebody else would noo arg!! my science teacher mss Edwards is asking me al these questions and i cant figure them out at all .. of well let me no guyz love hollie x Potassium bromide (KBr) is water soluble, when met with water it will dissolve. The dissolution of KBr in water is an endothermic reaction, the enthalpy change is about +19.8 Kj/mol. Does anyone know why the solution process occurs even though the enthalpy is a relatively high positive number which should mean weaker bonds?
you cant just have some, you have to maximum the potassium
no. it cant be converted to solid
they dont? its solid, they cant move.
yes! i believe so.. it cant be a liquid! and it cant be a gas! soooo the final answer is? YES! A SOLID IS CORRECT! its a liqud, its a gas, ITS A SOLID!
you cant
solid matter
grind bone, sea shells, egg shells potassium is an element! you cant make it at all. nor will it ever be organic its a basic ELEMENT!!!
h2O cant be kcl at the same time! So the answer is it's not.
it is a solid because its not a liquid for sure and a gas cant hold a gas.

No, it cant
