  2. Potassium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_oxide

    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 ...

  3. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    Potassium is the eighth or ninth most common element by mass (0.2%) in the human body, so that a 60 kg adult contains a total of about 120 g of potassium. [84] The body has about as much potassium as sulfur and chlorine, and only calcium and phosphorus are more abundant (with the exception of the ubiquitous CHON elements). [85]

  5. Alkali metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkali_metal

    Due to having the lowest atomic weight and the largest atomic radius of all the elements in their periods, the alkali metals are the least dense metals in the periodic table. [71] Lithium, sodium, and potassium are the only three metals in the periodic table that are less dense than water: [5] in fact, lithium is the least dense known solid at ...

  7. Equivalent weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_weight

    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.

  8. Atomicity (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(chemistry)

    The atomicity of homonuclear molecule can be derived by dividing the molecular weight by the atomic weight. For example, the molecular weight of oxygen is 31.999, [3] while its atomic weight is 15.879; [4] therefore, its atomicity is approximately 2 (31.999/15.879 ≈ 2).

  9. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen

    About 0.9% of the Sun's mass is oxygen. [19] Oxygen constitutes 49.2% of the Earth's crust by mass [69] as part of oxide compounds such as silicon dioxide and is the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. It is also the major component of the world's oceans (88.8% by mass). [19]
