The combination of baking soda and vinegar also is a very nice one. A lot of bubbling and formation of foam.

This reminded me!

This is a bit more advanced, but vinegar (HC2H3O2 [i think]) and baking soda (NaHCO3) react to make CO2, H2O, and NaC2H3O2(sodium acetate). Sodium acetate can be supersaturated into water to make some cool things. for example, when cooled in a glass bowl, the soulution doesn't crystalize until you place something in it. So when you touch it, the whole bowl crystalizes within 5 sec!!!!

I am using the KCl to make KNO3 (KCl + NH4NO3 -> KNO3 + NH4Cl)

I will try to recrystalize it from salt substitute. I am a little unclear on how to do this. Do you just supersaturate hot water with salt substitute and let it settle?

Thanks,

P.S. sorry for the delayed post...

Merged post follows:

I just found this...

This explains some more about recrystalizing the salt substitute.

So... the KCl will crystalize and the other substances will remain dissolved?

Thanks,

I did some more research and found that it is a salt substitute. (I think) Would that be relatively pure?

I am looking for somewhere to get KCl. I need it in a relativly pure solid. I have acess to basic chemistry equitment and cannot buy anything off the internet.

Thanks!
