Potassium in HCL ** Screw up **

This video was a screw up, I meant for there to be more light, Also in the dish to the left should have been sodium. I missed when i dropped it.

Thought it is a nice video of the potassium in HCL ( Hydrochloric Acid)

Reacts very violent.

while your making movies do the calcium carbide and chlorine

[WaterFireSoup]

Indeed

LOL you can't MAKE potassium.

it's an ELEMENT, silly.

I LIKED THE PART WHERE THE GUYS HEAD EXPLODED

@caaatx3 You can isolate it pretty easily from Potassium Hydroxide (KOH).

@caaatx3 #LOL you can, with electrolysis of potassium hydroxide :D

[muhatashim]

@caaatx3

Yes you can actually, that is in a atomic laboratory.

it's a dud, dude.

@Agentoxedo07

Actually I think it goes

2K + 2HCl ==> 2KCl + H2

KOH (potassium hydroxide) is quite different.

lol pretty much everything is deadly at astronomical concentrations.

On the contrary, KCl is the main ingredient in many salt substitutes. You need quite a bit of potassium, more than sodium, in your daily diet to maintain ion concentrations in and around your cells.

In lethal injections it's intravenously injected at an astronomical concentration.
