What elements are stored under oil?
sodium lithium Alkali metals are often stored under oil.
Is sodium chloride or potassium chloride good for foods?
Sodium chloride is common table salt and is used in many foods, more often than potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is often used as a substitute as many people consume too much sodium, but it doesn't taste as good.
Sodium is preferred over potassium in industrial applications because why?
$$$$$$ Sodium is cheaper!!!!$$$$$$ They both work great for the same purposes and are very often interchangeable. (But potassium hydroxide makes much softer and, to me, more pleasant feeling soap than sodium hydroxide)
What is the common name of Sodium Hydroxide?
Potassium hydroxide is often called caustic potash.Lye or potash lye.Lye is also a common name for sodium hydroxide.
What metal reacts the same was as potassium?
you can answer this by looking at the column in the periodic table that has potassium, all of the elements in the period react the same so lithium, sodium, rubidium, cesium, and francium have similar properties and react in the same way

How much potassium is in degrees Celsius?
Somehow your units seem odd.Temperature and quantity of potassium seems strange.Potassium is a metal, somewhat like Sodium. It has a melting point of 63.25°C, and a boiling point of 760°C. Like Sodium, pure Potassium Metal will burn in contact with water.However, it is often found in an ionic compound for example Potassium Chloride (KCl) which is far less reactive.KCl salt is soluble in water, and will decrease the melting point and increase the boiling point of the water.

Is sodium a product?
It could be but more often you would refer to it as an elemental metal.
Why is sodium in salt?
Sodium often tends to donate its valence electron to a non metal atom to form an ionic compound.
Is the element potassium the same as potassium carbonate?
No, potassium carbonate (K2CO3) is a substance often referred to as potash (though the term"potash" refer to other substances). It is a potassium compound. Bicarbonate of soda or baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3). It is a sodium compound. Baking power is a mixture that contains sodium bicarbonate.
Which metal is kept under water?
I dont think there is a metal stored under water because they react with water and instead are stored in kerosene or oil. Water often corrodes the metal producing rust so i cant think of any metal that would be stored under water.
What effect do Sodium Thiopental - Pancuronium Bromide - Potassium Chloride have when given to a human?
Death! It is often given to prisoners with death penalty.
What protein that allows ions to actively transport across?
The transport protein allows substances to travel across the cell membrane. The substance is traveling from low concentration to a higher concentration. The process requires energy and is called active transport. The protein is simply called a transport protein.
Which metals are kept in oil and in which is the most reactive?
the metals like Sodium and potassium are extremely reactive. so they are often placed under kerosene oil.
