  2. Potassium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium

    This reaction is exothermic and releases sufficient heat to ignite the resulting hydrogen in the presence of oxygen. Finely powdered potassium ignites in air at room temperature. The bulk metal ignites in air if heated. Because its density is 0.89 g/cm 3, burning potassium floats in water that exposes it to atmospheric oxygen. Many common fire ...

  3. Potassium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate

    Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula K N O 3. It is a potassium salt of nitric acid. This salt consists of potassium cations K + and nitrate anions NO − 3, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or nitre outside the US). [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium–potassium_alloy

    NaK containing 40% to 90% potassium by mass is liquid at room temperature.The eutectic mixture consists of 77% potassium and 23% sodium by mass (NaK-77), and it is a liquid from −12.6 to 785 °C (9.3 to 1,445.0 °F), and has a density of 0.866 g/cm 3 at 21 °C (70 °F) and 0.855 g/cm 3 at 100 °C (212 °F), making it less dense than water.

  5. Molten salt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt

    Molten FLiBe (2LiF·BeF 2). Molten salt is salt which is solid at standard temperature and pressure but liquified due to elevated temperature. A salt that is liquid even at standard temperature and pressure is usually called a room-temperature ionic liquid, and molten salts are technically a class of ionic liquids.

  6. Sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium

    Sodium forms alloys with many metals, such as potassium, calcium, lead, and the group 11 and 12 elements. Sodium and potassium form KNa 2 and NaK. NaK is 40–90% potassium and it is liquid at ambient temperature. It is an excellent thermal and electrical conductor.
