Elemental potassium is so soft that it can be cut with a knife. It oxidizes immediately on exposure to air and reacts violently with water. As hydrogen gas is evolved in this reaction and bums spontaneously, potassium is always stored under a liquid such as kerosene. Potassium and its salts impart a Hlac color to flames. Potassium carbonate, also called potash or pearl ash, is an important raw material for making glass and soft soap. Caustic potash is potassium hydroxide KOH. Potassium nitrate KNOj occurs naturally as saltpeter and is used in matches, explosives and fireworks and in pickling meat Potassium chloride KCl is an important potassium fertilizer. In living beings potassium ions are important for the transmission of nerve impulses. [Pg.264]
