Potassium oxide is produced from the reaction of oxygen and potassium; this reaction affords potassium peroxide, K 2 O 2. Treatment of the peroxide with potassium produces the oxide: [5] K 2 O 2 + 2 K → 2 K 2 O. Alternatively and more conveniently, K 2 O is synthesized by heating potassium nitrate with metallic potassium: 2 KNO 3 + 10 K → 6 ...

The first molar ionization energy applies to the neutral atoms. The second, third, etc., molar ionization energy applies to the further removal of an electron from a singly, doubly, etc., charged ion. For ionization energies measured in the unit eV, see Ionization energies of the elements (data page). All data from rutherfordium onwards is ...
Potassium is a chemical element; it has symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19. It is a silvery white metal that is soft enough to easily cut with a knife. [9] Potassium metal reacts rapidly with atmospheric oxygen to form flaky white potassium peroxide in only seconds of exposure.
potassium permanganate has a molar mass of 158.034(1) g mol −1, and reacts with five moles of electrons per mole of potassium permanganate, so its equivalent weight is 158.034(1) g mol −1 /5 eq mol −1 = 31.6068(3) g eq −1.
The unit cell of rutile, an important oxide of titanium. Ti(IV) centers are grey; oxygen centers are red. Notice that oxygen forms three bonds to titanium and titanium forms six bonds to oxygen. An oxide (/ ˈ ɒ k s aɪ d /) is a chemical compound containing at least one oxygen atom and one other element [1] in its chemical formula.
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 ...
Potassium methoxide is a white to yellowish, hygroscopic, odorless crystalline powder which reacts violently with water forming potassium hydroxide and methanol. The aqueous solutions obtained are highly basic and have a corrosive effect. The substance is classified as an inflammable solid with a spontaneous ignition temperature of 70 °C. [6]
