Best Answer

The majority of the potassium chloride produced is used for making fertilizer, since the growth of many plants is 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).

It is sometimes used in water as a completion fluid in petroleum and natural gas operations, as well as being an alternative to sodium chloride in household water softener units.

KCl is useful as a beta radiation source for calibration of radiation monitoring equipment

Is KCl an element or compound?

KCl is a compound not an element.


How much 75.66MKCL is required toprepare 1L of solution?

I did not know that you could get a concentration of 75.66 M KCl, but; Molarity = moles of solute/Liters of solution 75.66 M KCl = moles KCl/1 liter = 75.66 moles of KCl 75.66 moles KCl (74.55 grams/1 mole KCl) = 5640 grams KCl that is about 13 pounds of KCl in 1 liter of solution. This is why I think there is something really wrong with this problem!


Is KCl insoluble?

No. Potassium chloride (KCl) is soluble in water.
