Physical potassium alloys

Potassium, a soft, low density, silver-colored metal, has high thermal and electrical conductivities, and very low ionization energy. One useful physical property of potassium is that it forms Hquid alloys with other alkah metals such as Na, Rb, and Cs. These alloys have very low vapor pressures and melting points.

Coulometric determinations can be carried out in which no physical separation occurs but simply a quantitative change in oxidation state. For example, MacNevin and Baker determined iron and arsenic by anodic oxidation of iron(II) to iron(III) and arsenic(III) to arsenic(V). The reduction of titanium(IV) to titanium(Hl) and the reverse oxidation have been used for the analysis of titanium alloys. Conversely, the output current from a cell made from a silver-gauze cathode and a lead anode with potassium hydroxide electrolyte can be used to measure low concentrations of oxygen in inert gases. ...
