Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula K N O 3. It is a potassium salt of nitric acid. This salt consists of potassium cations K + and nitrate anions NO − 3, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or nitre outside the US). [5]

Potassium nitrite (distinct from potassium nitrate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula K N O 2. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrite ions NO 2 −, which forms a white or slightly yellow, hygroscopic crystalline powder that is soluble in water. [1] It is a strong oxidizer and may accelerate the combustion of ...
Many different sugars are used as the fuel for rocket candy. The most common fuel is typically sucrose, however, glucose and fructose are sometimes used. As an alternative, sorbitol, a sugar alcohol commonly used as a sweetener in food, produces a propellant with a slower burn rate and is less brittle when made into propellant grains. [5]

The molar mass is defined as the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of the substance, and is expressed in grams per mol (g/mol). That makes the molar mass an average of many particles or molecules (potentially containing different isotopes), and the molecular mass the mass of one specific particle or molecule. The molar mass is ...
Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula Na N O 3. This alkali metal nitrate salt is also known as Chile saltpeter (large deposits of which were historically mined in Chile) [4] [5] to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. The mineral form is also known as nitratine, nitratite or soda niter.
Molten FLiBe (2LiF·BeF 2). Molten salt is salt which is solid at standard temperature and pressure but liquified due to elevated temperature. A salt that is liquid even at standard temperature and pressure is usually called a room-temperature ionic liquid, and molten salts are technically a class of ionic liquids.
