ferrous sulfate ferrous sulfate
ferrous sulfate or iron (II) sulfate, chemical compound, FeSO 4 . It is known as the monohydrate, FeSO 4 ·H 2 O; the tetrahydrate, FeSO 4 ·4H 2 O; the pentahydrate, FeSO 4 ·5H 2 O; and the heptahydrate, FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O. The heptahydrate is also called green vitriol,... Read more
zinc sulfate zinc sulfate
zinc sulfate chemical compound ZnSO 4 , a very water soluble, transparent, colorless, crystalline compound. It is commonly used as the heptahydrate, ZnSO 4 ·7H 2 O, and is commonly called white vitriol; it occurs naturally as the mineral goslarite, and can be prepared by reacting zinc with... Read more
Potassium iodide Potassium iodide
Potassium Iodide Resources Potassium iodide (chemical formula KI) is a salt that is similar in structure and physical character to common table salt (sodium chloride; NaCl). Indeed, potassium iodide is a common commercial additive to table salt, to produce “iodized Read more
potassium chloride potassium chloride
potassium chloride chemical compound, KCl, a colorless or white, cubic, crystalline compound that closely resembles common salt (sodium chloride). It is soluble in water, alcohol, and alkalies. Potassium chloride occurs pure in nature as the mineral sylvite and is found combined in many minerals... Read more
potassium carbonate potassium carbonate
potassium carbonate chemical compound, K 2 CO 3 , white, crystalline, deliquescent substance that forms a strongly alkaline water solution. It is available commercially as a white, granular powder commonly called potash, or pearl ash. It was originally obtained from wood ashes or from the residue... Read more
potassium-argon dating potassium-argon dating
potassium–argon dating A dating technique for certain rocks that depends on the decay of the radioisotope potassium–40 to argon–40, a process with a half-life of about 1.27 × 1010 years. It assumes that all the argon–40 formed in the potassium-bearing mineral... Read more
sodium sulfate sodium sulfate
sodium sulfate chemical compound, Na 2 SO 4 . It is a white, orthorhombic crystalline compound at ordinary temperatures; above 100°C it assumes a monoclinic structure, and above about 250°C it assumes a hexagonal structure. Sodium sulfate is soluble in cold water and very soluble in hot... Read more
potassium hydroxide potassium hydroxide
potassium hydroxide chemical compound with formula KOH. Pure potassium hydroxide forms white, deliquescent crystals. For commercial and laboratory use it is usually in the form of white pellets. A strong base, it dissolves readily in water, giving off much heat and forming a strongly alkaline,... Read more
Iodized salt Iodized salt
Potassium Iodide Potassium iodide (chemical formula KI) is a salt that is similar in structure and physical character to common table salt (sodium chloride; NaCl). Indeed, potassium iodide is a common commercial additive to table salt, to produce "iodized" salt. Potassium... Read more
potassium nitrate potassium nitrate
potassium nitrate chemical compound, KNO 3 , occurring as colorless, prismatic crystals or as a white powder; it is found pure in nature as the mineral saltpeter, or niter. (The name saltpeter is also applied to sodium nitrate , although less frequently.) It is slightly soluble in cold water and... Read more
