Aim: To determine the effect temperature and cooling rate has on crystal growth from potash solution Hypothesis: The crystal solution cooling the slowest will have the biggest crystals as the ions have time to align themselves and grow whereas solutions cooling quickly will have smaller crystals as the crystals all clump together and don’t have time to properly form.

consolidated — and therefore impermeable — salt sequences. When contacting potash beds, the brines caused alterations of the potash beds, dissolving the most soluble potash minerals and precipitating less soluble salts; as the result, carnallite was replaced by sylvite and halite. In cases where such processes extended laterally into potash beds, sylvite was

Have you ever heard of an element named potassium? Potassium is an element in the 4th period and 1st group on the periodic table. Potassium is not free in nature. For example, exposing it to water can cause it to explode to purple flame. Potassium quickly combines in air and responds to give off hydrogen. Having low potassium levels can give you hypokalemia. Symptoms of hypokalemia are muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, and weakness. Did you know that 2.4% of Earth’s crust is potassium? Potassium’s

cyanide, and sulfate. Potassium is really important to those elements because if potassium is not in those elements then they won’t be a full element with it or they wouldn’t be the element that they are with potassium in it. Potassium salts, alum, and potash were all use in gunpowder, dyeing, and soap making. Potassium and the other two elements used to get scraped from walls of latrines, manufacture sulfuric acid and mold clay, and collected the wood ash respectively.

Potassium, discovered by Sir Humphry Davy, is a very unique element. Potassium gets its name from its main source, potash salt. Potassium is number 19 on the periodic table, with the letter K as its chemical symbol. The K comes from the latin word “kalium” meaning potash. Potassium has 19 protons, 20 neutrons, and 19 electrons. Its atomic number is 19, because it has 19 protons, and its atomic mass is 39.0983. Potassium is a metal, categorized underneath the group alkali metals, this means it
