Chemical Name : Potassium Chloride
Formula : KCl
Appearance : White crystalline power.
Uses : The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants are limited by their potassium intake. As a chemical feedstock, it is used for the manufacture of potassium hydroxide and potassium metal. It is also used in medicine, lethal injections, scientific applications, food processing, and as a sodium-free substitute for table salt (sodium chloride).
