Potassium nitrate

Full Name:
Potassium nitrate
Properties:
Colorless and transparent rhombic or diamond-shaped crystal white powder,
soluble in water, liquid Nitrogen and glycerin, insoluble in water-free ethanol
and ether. It is a fully soluble fertilizer with the formula KNO3. It is an
ionic salt of potassium ions K+ and nitrate ions NO3−. It occurs as a mineral
niter and is a natural solid source of nitrogen. Potassium nitrate is one of
several nitrogen-containing compounds collectively referred to as saltpeter or
saltpeter.
Usage:
Used in fertilizers, as a source of nitrogen and potassium – two of the

rifampin and other drugs. Also used to produce cigarette paper, catalyst and
dressing agent; in ceramic industry, used to produce ceramic glaze; heat
treatment salt bath.
