What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313K?

At 313K, the solubility of potassium nitrate in water is approximately 62g/100g of water. To form a saturated solution in 50g of water, you would need roughly 31g of potassium nitrate.


What is sulfur nitrate used for?

Sulfur nitrate is not a commonly known compound. It may refer to a hypothetical compound combining sulfur and nitrate ions. If such a compound were to exist, it could potentially be used in fertilizers, explosives, or in certain chemical reactions for research purposes.


A dilute aqueous potassium nitrate solution is best classified as a?

A dilute aqueous solution of potassium nitrate would be classified as an electrolyte due to the presence of potassium ions (K+) and nitrate ions (NO3-) that can conduct electricity when dissolved in water.


Explain how you would prepare a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in water?

Add potassium nitrate to distilled water while stirring continuously; stop adding potassium nitrate once the chemical becomes saturated and stops dissolving in the water. Filter the solution into an evaporating dish and measure the temperature of the solution. Measure the temperature and carefully heat the solution under low heat. Weigh the potassium nitrate to determine its solubility. You should find that approximately 36 g of potassium nitrate can be dissolved in 100 ml of water at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). santosh kumar.batchu santoshkumar@gmail.com


What is the chemical formula for potassium oxide plus nitric acid?

What type of bond does potassium and sulfur form?

Potassium and sulfur would form an ionic bond, where potassium would donate an electron to sulfur, resulting in the formation of potassium sulfide.


Can gunpowder be made without sulfur?

No, sulfur is a crucial component in gunpowder. Gunpowder is typically composed of sulfur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). Removing sulfur from the mixture would change the composition and likely impact the effectiveness of the gunpowder.


What product will you get if you add water in potassium nitrate?

Since all nitrates are soluble in water, you would get a mixture of Potassium ions and Nitrate ions floating around in water.


What color would Potassium nitrate burn?

Potassium nitrate typically produces a purple flame when burned.


What type of salt would be made if nitric acid was reacted with potassium hydroxie?

Potassium nitrate salt would be formed when nitric acid and potassium hydroxide are reacted together.

What is the liquid left when you mix potassium iodide and led nitrate?

potassium nitrate would be left was an aqueous solution and lead iodide would be the precipitate


What hapens to potassium nitrate when dissolved in carbon tetrachloride?

Potassium nitrate is not soluble in carbon tetrachloride, so it would not dissolve. Instead, the potassium nitrate would remain as solid particles suspended in the carbon tetrachloride without chemically reacting with it.


Can you change potassium nitrate into sodium nitrate?

No, it is not possible to directly change potassium nitrate into sodium nitrate. These are two different compounds with different chemical compositions and properties. To obtain sodium nitrate from potassium nitrate, you would need to first separate the potassium and then introduce sodium in a separate chemical reaction.

What is the chemical formula of the salt produced by the neutralization of potassium hydroxide with nitric acid?

Potassium Nitrate+Water HNO3 (aq)+KOH (aq)-->KNO3 (aq)+H2O (l)


What does Potassium nitrate do when met with oxygen?

Potassium nitrate itself is a source of oxygen, and it is not flammable by itself. So in oxygen, even in a very high amount of it, nothing would happen. However, if any combustible substance is combined with potassium nitrate and ignited, it would burn.
