What is Potassium?



A few days ago we did a prac with potassium. When it was heated in the water it suddenly turned into a pinkish smoke. Potassium is a major mineral that is highly important to the human body. It is an electrolyte, which means it carries electrical currents. It isin most people's diets, so most healthy people have a large amount in their intake. It is also found in foods such as bananas, strawberries and fish.
