  2. Potassium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_oxide

    Potassium oxide (K 2 O) is an ionic compound of potassium and oxygen. It is a base. This pale yellow solid is the simplest oxide of potassium. It is a highly reactive ...

  3. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    Four oxides of potassium are well studied: potassium oxide (K 2 O), potassium peroxide (K 2 O 2), potassium superoxide (KO 2) [25] and potassium ozonide (KO 3). The binary potassium-oxygen compounds react with water forming KOH. KOH is a strong base. Illustrating its hydrophilic character, as much as 1.21 kg of KOH can dissolve in a single ...

  4. Potassium peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_peroxide

    Potassium peroxide is an inorganic compound with the molecular formula K 2 O 2. It is formed as potassium reacts with oxygen in the air, along with potassium oxide (K 2 O) and potassium superoxide (KO 2). Crystal structure. Potassium peroxide reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide and oxygen: 2 K 2 O 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 KOH + O 2 ↑

  5. Solubility chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility_chart

    The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.

  6. Potassium superoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_superoxide

    Potassium superoxide is a source of superoxide, which is an oxidant and a nucleophile, depending on its reaction partner. [8] Upon contact with water, it undergoes disproportionation to potassium hydroxide, oxygen, and hydrogen peroxide: 4 KO 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 KOH + 3 O 2 2 KO 2 + 2 H 2 O → 2 KOH + H 2 O 2 + O 2 [9] It reacts with carbon ...

  7. Superoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superoxide

    In chemistry, a superoxide is a compound that contains the superoxide ion, which has the chemical formula O − 2. [1] The systematic name of the anion is dioxide(1−).The reactive oxygen ion superoxide is particularly important as the product of the one-electron reduction of dioxygen O 2, which occurs widely in nature. [2]

  8. Metaluminous rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaluminous_rock

    Metaluminous rocks are igneous rocks that have a molar proportion of aluminium oxide lower than the combination of calcium oxide, sodium oxide and potassium oxide. [1] This contrasts with peraluminous rocks in which the aluminium oxide concentration is higher than the combination, and peralkaline rocks where the alkalis are higher.

  9. Chemical oxygen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_generator

    A chlorate candle, or an oxygen candle, is a cylindrical chemical oxygen generator that contains a mix of sodium chlorate and iron powder, which when ignited smolders at about 600 °C (1,100 °F), producing sodium chloride, iron oxide, and oxygen at a fixed rate of about 6.5 man-hours per kilogram of the mixture. The mixture has an indefinite ...
