Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula K N O 3. It is an ionic salt of potassium ions K + and nitrate ions NO 3 â .It occurs as a mineral niter and is a natural solid source of nitrogen. Potassium nitrate is one of several nitrogen-containing compounds collectively referred to as saltpeter or saltpetre.Major uses of potassium nitrate are in fertilizers, tree stump removal, rocket propellants and fireworks.otassium nitrate is used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and potassium â two of the macronutrients for plants. When used by itself, it has an NPK rating of 13-0-44.
Almost all inorganic nitrate salts are soluble in water at standard temperature and pressure. A common example of an inorganic nitrate salt is potassium nitrate (saltpeter). A rich source of inorganic nitrate in the human body comes from diets rich in leafy green foods, such as spinach and arugula.It is now believed that dietary nitrate in the form of plant-based foods is converted in the body to nitrite.he anion is the conjugate base of nitric acid, consisting of one central nitrogen atom surrounded by three identically bonded oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of -1.
