Tried some flame tests on KCl n something I thought was KCO3. My problem is : the salts always tend to ``explode``. Not a real explosion, but it does PAK!! PAK!!! n then it goes everywhere except on the flamme. So its very difficult to have the flamme test. Any advices???
In solid form, Potassium is an alkali metal element that is very reactive. A salt is a chemical of two components created upon the reaction between an acid and an alkali, and thus, potassium is more commonly found as a salt such as Potassium Chloride, which when burned, gives off a violet flame. Potassium is part of the chemicals that are inside needed foods, but in very small amounts.
@BCSpore ohhh lol i just felt like being stupid and saying it like that but i really didnt know it was an alkali metal thanks for informing me with out the sarcasm and hate comments i appreciate it
@TheWrongsystem At least smellslikevanilla33 knew that potassium is a metal, but you're calling it a vitamin. You dumb shit its listed as a vitamin because it reacts with anions to form a salt. But in elemental form, its an alkali, so get off youtube.
So if you burn a banana the fire will turn purple?
