Title: Saltpeter
Post by: Vadermort on 15/02/2006 09:23:01

I am aware that saltpeter ie. potassium nitrate ie. KNO3, is found as a mineral and is common in China. I have identified a powdery white substance which i suspect is KNO3. im not sure how to test it.
Nitrates dissolve in water... i dont know.
