The potassium creates a small explosion. Afterwards there will be a small green flame.
A2. This is a dangerous experiment, as potassium has a vigorous reaction with water. It will react with the moisture in the air with sufficient vigor to dissociate that water into oxygen and hydrogen which will again react. This sort of experiment must only be performed under an inert gas environment.
Additionally, the potassium sample will have a surface film of kerosene from its storage, and this burning will add to the hazard. The flame is an orange-red.
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
The product of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) plus potassium hydroxide (KOH) reaction is potassium phosphate (K3PO4) and water (H2O).
Someone told me it burns blue or purple.
When you burn potassium, it produces a lilac or light purple flame. This color is due to the excitation of electrons in the potassium atoms as they release energy in the form of light. The specific color emitted is characteristic of the element potassium and is often used in flame tests to identify its presence in compounds.
Oxygen can not burn in air.
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
Fossil fuel
yes, but it burns you first.
It is reactant!
Potassium burns with a purple flame.
Sodium oxide and sodium peroxide
Product is something made, or grown, or harvested. Consumer is the person who uses it, or eats it, or burns it.
When hydrogen burns, the product created is water.
Like sodium, it burns.
Potassium has a violet color in the flame test.
The product of aluminium hydroxide and oxalic acid is aluminium oxalate, while the product of aluminium oxalate and potassium oxalate is potassium oxalate and aluminium oxalate.
I used this product as a kid in the 50's in Houston. It was a great product. I wish it was still on the market. It was the best thing for burns. It had a very unusual smell.
