Hi

Can anyone tell me how to get potassium from potassium chloride.

I''m a newby to chemistry. So all help is appreciated.

electrolysis of molten KCl.

As stated above, in plain words, the occasional chemistry hobbyist simply can't. Producing metallic sodium, potassium, cesium or lithium from their respective salts is nearly impossible because these metals are utterly reactive and involves intense heat to actually melt the salt, then under an inert gas, electrolyse the molten salt, resulting in ultra hot, highly reactive acidic gas and a ultra hot, highly reactive alkaline metal that just beg to recombine as fast as they've been separated...

 

Your best bet is finding a source in your area that sells the metal directly.
