Results for 'potassium nitrate':
EXPERIMENT 1
---------------
In concentrated phosphoric acid, manganese (II) ions are oxidized easily to
manganese (III) ions, which are stabilized by formation of a phosphato-complex
with a remarkably bright purple color. This reaction is remarkable in the sense
that oxidation stops at manganese (III).
EXPERIMENT 2
---------------
Sulphur and Carbon are mixed,
Potassium Nitrate is dissolved in hot water and the Sulphur/Carbon mix is
added.
Pure Isopropanol is added, and dehydrates the water, allowing the KNO3 and S/C
to mix closely.
The wet powder is filtered via a vacuum filter, and is dried using ambient
heat.
This produces fast-burning gunpowder.
EXPERIMENT 3
---------------
Thallium(I) metaperiodate is very much like potassium metaperiodate, but it
decomposes easily due to an internal redox reaction in which thallium(III) is
formed, which forms a precipitate with periodate ion.
