Potassium perchlorate in crystal form. Potassium perchlorate is prepared industrially by treating an aqueous solution of sodium perchlorate with potassium chloride.This single precipitation reaction exploits the low solubility of KClO 4, which is about 1/100 as much as the solubility of NaClO 4 (209.6 g/100 mL at 25 °C).
Perchlorate compounds oxidize organic compounds, especially when the mixture is heated. The explosive decomposition of ammonium perchlorate is catalyzed by metals and heat. [14] As perchlorate is a weak Lewis base (i.e., a weak electron pair donor) and a weak nucleophilic anion, it is also a very weakly coordinating anion. [14]
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...

Potassium chlorides with formulas other than KCl have been predicted to become stable under pressures of 20 GPa or more. [40] Among these, two phases of KCl 3 were synthesized and characterized. At 20-40 GPa, a trigonal structure containing K + and Cl 3 − is obtained; above 40 GPa this gives way to a phase isostructural with the intermetallic ...
Potassium chlorate is the inorganic compound with the molecular formula KClO 3. In its pure form, it is a white solid. After sodium chlorate, it is the second most common chlorate in industrial use. It is a strong oxidizing agent and its most important application is in safety matches. [6]
Sodium perchlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na Cl O 4. It consists of sodium cations Na + and perchlorate anions ClO − 4. It is a white crystalline, hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water and ethanol. It is usually encountered as sodium perchlorate monohydrate NaClO 4 ·H 2 O.
Potassium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the chemical formula K O Cl, also written as KClO. It is the potassium salt of hypochlorous acid. It consists of potassium cations (K +) and hypochlorite anions (− OCl). It is used in variable concentrations, often diluted in water solution.
