Potassium chloride can occur naturally in nature in the mineral form of sylvite. Sylvite can be found in the beds of ancient lakes and seas. However, KCL itself is never found naturally in nature, only in minerals such as sylvite. KCL is often mined when used for the production of fertilizer.
The melting point of KCL: 773 Celsius.
The boiling point of KCL: 1420 Celsius.
The density of KCL: 1.98 g/cm^3.
The percent composition by mass: K=52.4% ; Cl=47.6%.
The percent composition by number: Both K and Cl are 50%.
Type of bonding: Ionic.
Chemical properties: KCL has a crystalline structure; pH of 7.0; soluble in water and alcohol; is odorless and colorless in either powder or crystalline form at room temperature.
