creativus Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Do ascorbic acid, potassium nitrate, and magnesium sulfate undergo a reaction when mixed dry or solved in water in pairs or altogether ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenbeier Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ascrobic acid is a strong reducer, Nitrate a oxidiser. There will be a reaction. Magnesium sulfate will not react with each of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensei Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Potassium Nitrate, and Magnesium Sulfate, are salts of stronger acid than ascorbic acid.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mixed powdered ascorbic acid and potassium nitrate then set the mixture on fire there would be a very vigorous reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenbeier Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 As powder it would only react by give some initial power like fire, spark to it. A kind of gun powder. In aqueous solution the reaction also could be quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
