- What is the chemical reaction for NaCl + KNO3?
When sodium chloride and potassium nitrate combine they form sodium nitrate and potassium chloride which would be written in a chemical formula of NaNO3 + KCl.
- What is a chemical reaction?
A chemical reaction occurs when certain chemical substances combine together and produce a reaction. Reactions can vary from a slight fizz to a full combustion involving fire, electricity, light and heat. The results of a chemical reaction are often written in chemical equations or formulas.
It is in our human instinct to create chemical reactions and we have been doing so since the Stone Age; when human kind first understood fire and combustion. Without fire we could not have developed into what we are today so understanding chemical reactions is very important to our evolution and human development.
- What is NaCl?
NaCl is the chemical formula for sodium chloride. The common use for sodium chloride is salt and common table salt. Salt is a vital element to our lives as this is what makes the sea salty and ensure all the sea life can live and also preserves and flavors our food and is something we need to keep our bodies functioning in a healthy way.
- What is KN03?
