  2. Potassium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chloride

    Potassium chloride (KCl, or potassium salt) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. It is odorless and has a white or colorless vitreous crystal appearance. The solid dissolves readily in water, and its solutions have a salt-like taste. Potassium chloride can be obtained from ancient dried lake deposits. [7]

  5. Chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloride

    Chloride is present in all body fluids, [12] and is the most abundant extracellular anion which accounts for around one third of extracellular fluid's tonicity. [13] [14] Chloride is an essential electrolyte, playing a key role in maintaining cell homeostasis and transmitting action potentials in neurons. [15]

  6. Potassium perchlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_perchlorate

    KClO 4 is an oxidizer in the sense that it exothermically "transfers oxygen" to combustible materials, greatly increasing their rate of combustion relative to that in air. Thus, it reacts with glucose to give carbon dioxide, water molecules and potassium chloride: 3 KClO 4 + C 6 H 12 O 6 → 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 3 KCl

  7. 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]

  8. Potassium oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_oxide

    Potassium oxide is often not used directly in these products, but the amount of potassium is reported in terms of the K 2 O equivalent for whatever type of potash was used, such as potassium carbonate. For example, potassium oxide is about 83% potassium by weight, while potassium chloride is only 52%.

  9. Potassium chlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_chlorate

    With further heating, potassium perchlorate decomposes to potassium chloride and oxygen: KClO 4 → KCl + 2 O 2. The safe performance of this reaction requires very pure reagents and careful temperature control. Molten potassium chlorate is an extremely powerful oxidizer and spontaneously reacts with many common materials such as sugar.
