Saltpeter is the natural 3. It is an inorganic chemical that is soluble in water. Depending on where you live, it may be spelled "saltpetre"rather than 'saltpeter'. Before systematic naming of chemicals, saltpeter was called nitrate of potash. It has also been called 'Chinese salt' or 'Chinese snow'. • Saltpeter is one name for the compound called potassium nitrate, which has the chemical formula KNO 3. • Generally, saltpeter refers to the natural mineral, while potassium nitrate refers to the purified compound. • Potassium nitrate has many uses. It is a fertilizer, food preservative, gunpowder component, tree stump remover, and rocket propellant. Sources of Saltpeter Pure saltpeter or potassium nitrate is a white crystalline solid, usually encountered as a powder. Most potassium nitrate is produced using a Saltpeter and Male Libido It's a popular myth that saltpeter inhibits male libido. Rumors abound that saltpeter has been added to food in prison and military installations to curb sexual desire, but there is no evidence to support this has been done or would even work. Saltpeter and other nitrates have a long history of medical use, but it is toxic in high doses and can produce symptoms ranging from a mild headache and upset stomach to kidney damage and dangerously altered pressure. In 1270, Syrian chemist Hasan al-Rammah described a purification process for obtaining purified potassium nitrate from saltpeter. First, the saltpeter is boiled in a small amount of water an...

Meijer, Prevident 5000 Sensitive, Styptstix Generic Name Potassium nitrate DrugBank Accession Number DB11090 Background Potassium nitrate is an inorganic salt with a chemical formula of KNO3. It is a natural source of nitrate and has been used as a constituent for several different purposes, including food preservatives, fertilizers, tree stump removal, rocket propellants, and fireworks. Potassium nitrate is a common active ingredient in toothpaste, exerting an anti-sensitivity action. It provides increasing protection against painful sensitivity of the teeth to cold, heat, acids, sweets or contact In addition, potassium nitrate is used as a diuretic in pigs, cattle, and horses. It is administered orally doses up to 30 g per animal per day Type Small Molecule Groups Approved Structure Learn more Pharmacodynamics The potassium cation is an essential electrolyte that is important for the maintenance of intracellular osmotic pressure and for the maintenance of cell membrane potential, in particular, the potential of electrically excitable tissues Potassium nitrates are ignitable fumigants also utilized as rodenticides and insecticides. They are added to other pesticide active ingredients (sulfur and carbon) and placed into fumigant gas cartridges, designed to be ignited and placed in pest-infested areas. The activated cartridge bombs release toxic gases which are lethal to select rodents, skunks, coyotes, and wasps Potassium ions have demonstrated in animal studies to act dir...

Potassium Nitrate OVERVIEW Potassium nitrate (poe-TAS-ee-yum NYE-trate) is transparent, colorless, or white, and may be crystalline or powdery solid. It is odorless with a sharp, cool, salty taste. It is slightly hygroscopic, that is, having a tendency to absorb moisture from the air. Potassium nitrate, more commonly known as saltpeter or niter, has been used by humans for many centuries. Going back as far as ancient Chinese civilizations, the compound was used as an ingredient in fireworks, to preserve foods, to make incense burn more evenly, to increase the male sex drive, and for magic potions. HOW IT IS MADE Potassium nitrate is made commercially by reacting 3) at high temperatures: 3KCl + 4HNO 3 → 3KNO 3 + Cl 2 + NOCl + 2H 2O. KEY FACTS OTHER NAMES: Niter; saltpeter; nitrate of potash FORMULA: KNO 3 ELEMENTS: Potassium, nitrogen, oxygen COMPOUND TYPE: Salt (inorganic) STATE: Solid MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 101.10 g/mol MELTING POINT: 337°C (639°F) BOILING POINT: Not applicable; decomposes above 400°C (750°F) SOLUBILITY: Soluble in water and glycerol; slightly soluble in ethyl alcohol The compound can also be obtained for use from natural sources. It occurs as a thin, whitish, glassy crust on rocks in sheltered areas, such as caves. In warm climates, COMMON USES AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS The primary use of potassium nitrate is in explosives, blasting powders, gunpowder, fireworks, and matches. The compound is used as an oxidizing agent in such preparations. An oxidizing agent is a...
