Pure potassium is a highly reactive metal. Exposed to water, it explodes with a purple flame, so it's usually stored under mineral oil for safety. ... The conflagration occurs because the combination of potassium and water creates potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas, as well as heat....
Potassium is a highly reactive metal. An essential nutrient for human health, a potassium imbalance can cause severe...
I like boiling yellow squash in salted water with a little bit of basil. When it comes to squash, I like to go light on seasoning so that I can taste the vegetable. My husband, however, refused to eat my squash. He has something against any vegetable that is squishy. He also refuses...
a,b, Time-lapse of Lsr2-Dendra2M. smegmatiscells grown and infected with fluorescent Fionnbharth (a) or BPs (b) phages in a CellASIC microfluidic device. Cells were infected via a 1 h pulse of SYTOX Orange-labelled phage particles at 107 p.f.u. ml−1. Lsr2-Dendra2 forms ...
Under dehydration, leaves from the SNP-treated hydroponic seedlings displayed less water loss, lower electrolyte leakage and reactive oxygen species accumulation, higher antioxidant enzyme activities and smaller stomatal apertures as compared with the control (treated with water). In addition, pretreatment ...
A suspension of potassium acetate (128 mg, 1.33 mmol) and 4 (200 mg, 0.44 mmol) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (24 ml) was added to this mixture. This mixture was refluxed at 100 °C for 8 h under nitrogen. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with...
Ammonium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, and potassium salts are also commercially relevant. Technical phosphates such as detergent sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or phosphates for water treatment, firefighting compositions, and ceramics can be made either from MGA (usual) or via the thermal route. The...
Haematological response of the African catfish: Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822) to sublethal concentrations of potassium permanganate Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is a widely used freshwater aquaculture chemotherapeutant for the treatment and prevention of waterborne parasitic and funga...

Bactericidal antibiotics kill bacteria by perturbing various cellular targets and processes. Disruption of the primary antibiotic-binding partner induces a cascade of molecular events, leading to overproduction of reactive metabolic by-products. It remai
