Did You Know?
Potassium nitrate has played a pivotal role in the history of chemistry and science education. Its strong cooling effect when dissolved in water makes it a classic compound for demonstrating endothermic reactions, where heat is absorbed from the surroundings. Naturally occurring potassium nitrate forms in mineral deposits and caves, reminding students that many laboratory chemicals originate from processes found in the natural world.
