Structure Crystal structure: Face centered cubic Traits : Colorless or white Cubic Crystalline Compound Potassium chloride is used in the production of fertilizers Used as fertilizers High solubility of potassium in molten KCl KCl in powdered form gives a lilac flame test result Fire extinguishing agent Can be used as a salt substitute for food bUses Medicine Scientific applications Food processing Judicial execution through lethal injection Solvent Cleaning fluid Dissolving Lipophilic contaminants such as oil Cleaner of Electronic devices such as contact pins (like those on ROM cartridges), magnetic tape and disk heads (such as those in audio and video tape recorders and floppy disk drives), the lenses of lasers in optical disc drives (e.g. CD, DVD) and removing thermal paste from IC packages (such as CPUs.) Precautions KCl is toxic in excess if taken orally LD50 is around 2.5 g/kg (meaning that a lethal dose for 50% of people weighing 75 kg (165 lb) is about 190 g (6.7 ounces) Intravenously this reduced to just over 100 mg/kg, but of more concern are its severe effects on the cardiac muscles High doses can cause cardiac arrest and rapid death, ergo its aforementioned use as the third and final drug delivered in the lethal injection process
