Is it possible to use potassium nitrate in Hummers method?

06 June 2017 1 5K Report

Can we use Potassium Nitrate in Hummers method instead of sodium nitrate? How does the cation effect synthesis process?

You won't know until you try it! However, Potassium is a larger atom than Sodium so it might have an effect on your end product and the efficiency of the reaction.
