When in an alloy with sodium, it is in a liquid state and can be as a desiccant in order to form dry and air-less solvents. It can also be used in radioactive dating due to it
When in an alloy with sodium, it is in a liquid state and can be as a desiccant in order to form dry and air-less solvents. It can also be used in radioactive dating due to its 40-isotope having a half-life of more than one billion years as it decays (*) into argon. Its nitrate is used in making saltpeter which is a component of some gunpowders. FTP, identify this highly reactive alkali earth metal with atomic number 19 that was once known as Kalium.
