John Cuthber Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 "i was told it could be made from amounia nitric and KOH or KCL" By whom? Would I be right in thinking that English wasn't their first language and/ or that they don't know a lot of chemistry? Anyway, The reaction of ammonium nitrate with KOH will give potassium nitrate but, as far as I know, there are no natural sources of ammonium nitrate.
