It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter. It is a source of nitrogen, from which it derives its name. Potassium Nitrate is a colourless transparent or rhombic crystalline white powder, it is soluble in glycerol and water and insoluble in ethanol. Potassium nitrate when dissolved in water gives and endothermic reaction resulting in a cool solution. Potassium nitrate is a strong oxidant, food preservative, it is mainly used in fireworks, gunpowder, matches, fertilizer for vegetables, fruit and flowers and all crops, tobacco, chemical reagent, ceramic glaze, glass, in metallurgy, in pharmaceuticals, in (CSP) Concentrating solar power plants, explosives for civil and mining works. In recent time potassium nitrate is widely used as an effective common ingredient in teeth desensitising toothpaste. In agriculture, potassium nitrate is perfect water soluble and no chloride source of nitrogen rich potassium based nutrients.
