What is sulfur nitrate used for?
Sulfur nitrate has quite a few uses. A few examples of what sulfur nitrate is used for would include matches to light a stove, fertilizers, and medications containing sulfa.
What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313K?
More than 45,5 g KNO3.
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 balanced equation for thermal decomposition of Potassium Nitrate?
2KNO3 (s) ==heat==> 2KNO2(s) + O2(g) potassium nitrate decomposes to potassium nitrite and oxygen. NB Note the spelling for the product.
Does gunpowder produce CO2?
It is my understanding that gunpowder is a mixture of Sulfur, Charcoal, and Saltpeter or aka Potassium Nitrate. The unbalanced equation would look like this-- KNO3(s)+C(s)+S(s)---->N2(g)+CO2(g)+K2S(s). So the answer is yes, gunpowder does produce CO2.
What does potassium nitrate do in fireworks?
well potassium nitrate helps make the fire stronger for when it is lit and it also makes the firework work for example if its a rocket potassium nitrate would use its power to make the firework go up without potassium nitrate fireworks would be a flop!any other questions then my help will always be availableoh gushy gloom i nearly forgot you don't know who i am do you...well i am .....Queen Lizabeth

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 color would Potassium nitrate burn?
Purple
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.
How many atoms are in four molecules of potassium nitrate?
The chemical formula for potassium nitrate is KNO3, which means that one molecule contains five atoms. Therefore, four molecules of potassium nitrate would contain 20 atoms.
What do you add to potassium hydroxide to get potassium nitrate?
You would add either ammonium nitrate or nitric acid.
What type of salt would be made if nitric acid was reacted with potassium hydroxie?
Potassium Nitrate
What mass of potassium nitrate would be needed to produce a saturated solution of potassium nitrate in 50 grams of water at 313K?
More than 45,5 g KNO3.
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.
Can you ingest potassium nitrate to increase your bodies need for potassium?
I would recommend eating bananas first.
