Physical and Chemical Properties
Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula KNO3. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K+ and nitrate ions NO3−, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate.It occurs in nature as a mineral niter.
Application
- Major uses of potassium nitrate are in fertilizers, tree stump removal, rocket propellantsand fireworks. It is also one of the major constituents of gunpowder (black powder).
- In processing meat, potassium nitrate reactswith hemoglobin and myoglobin generating a red color.
- Potassium nitrate largely as a source of nitrate.
- potassium nitrate isas the oxidizer in blackpowder.
- Used in some toothpastesfor sensitive teeth.
- Combats high blood pressure and was once used as a hypotensive.
- Electrolytein a salt bridge.
- Works as an aluminium cleaner.
- As a source of potassium ions for exchange with sodium ions in chemically strengthened glass.
- As an oxidizer in model rocket fuel called Rocket candy.
