for all of those poeple who have read the Radioactive Boyscout by Ken Silverstein,

on page 151, he describes how david used a "lithium replacement" method, where he heated a lithium strip with potassium nitrate and ended up with a potssium strip and lithium nitrate powder. is it possible for a reaction to happen so cleanly like that where lithium and potassium atoms replace themselves exactly so you have a potassium strip and lithium powder?

if so, how do you go about doing this?

 

thanks
