  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 compound that is rarely encountered. Some industrial materials, such as fertilizers and cements, are assayed assuming the percent composition that would be equivalent to K 2 O.

  4. Chemical nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_nomenclature

    The main purpose of chemical nomenclature is to disambiguate the spoken or written names of chemical compounds: each name should refer to one compound. Secondarily, each compound should have only one name, although in some cases some alternative names are accepted. Preferably, the name should also represent the structure or chemistry of a compound.

  5. Potassium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride

    Intravenously, the LD 50 of potassium chloride is far smaller, at about 57.2 mg/kg to 66.7 mg/kg; this is found by dividing the lethal concentration of positive potassium ions (about 30 to 35 mg/kg) [30] by the proportion by mass of potassium ions in potassium chloride (about 0.52445 mg K + /mg KCl).

  6. Potassium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_hydroxide

    Potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the formula K OH, and is commonly called caustic potash. Along with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), KOH is a prototypical strong base. It has many industrial and niche applications, most of which utilize its caustic nature and its reactivity toward acids.
