    Four oxides of potassium are well studied: potassium oxide (K 2 O), potassium peroxide (K 2 O 2), potassium superoxide (KO 2) [25] and potassium ozonide (KO 3). The binary potassium-oxygen compounds react with water forming KOH. KOH is a strong base. Illustrating its hydrophilic character, as much as 1.21 kg of KOH can dissolve in a single ...

    Many gases have toxic properties, which are often assessed using the LC 50 (median lethal concentration) measure. In the United States, many of these gases have been assigned an NFPA 704 health rating of 4 (may be fatal) or 3 (may cause serious or permanent injury), and/or exposure limits (TLV, TWA/PEL, STEL, or REL) determined by the ACGIH professional association.
